"My daughter began to play the cello in 4th grade via the music program at El Marino Language School. Despite the pandemic, she continued with virtual lessons and has advanced significantly.

For example, she has taught herself how to play fun music from anime to Star Wars to Queen in addition to Bach. Thank you CCEF for supporting STEAM programs across the district!"

to carry that hunger for challenge with me everywhere I go."
