Thank you from Meadowview Music Educator

Dear Members of the Milford School Foundation,

Meadowview Elementary recently reinstated musical productions for the 5th grade students to allow students to apply performance skills which are learned within the classroom.  Although our first production  Snow Biz (2011) was a great success, I discovered that when our audience occupied both the cafeteria and the gymnasium, it was difficult to hear individual and large choral parts.  I was graciously provided with a $500 grant from the Foundation as well as matching funds from our Meadowview PTO.

These funds were used to purchase a new wireless microphone system which included 2 new wireless microphones, as well as the purchase of 2 ceiling choir microphones and a headset unit.

This new system was installed this fall and our students had the opportunity to perform with our new equipment at our Veteran’s Day performance.  It was a joy to be able to clearly hear students in both the cafeteria and the back of our gymnasium.  We now have additional performances which will also be enhanced b our new sound system.  Many students will be performing in our school talent show on November 30th and we have our 5th grade musical in February,

Thank you once again for your dedication and support of Milford schools and our students.

Sincerely,
Cynthia Bachman
Meadowview Music Educator
