A Thank you note from the Holmdel Pep Band for the new Drum line Equipment

Testimonials from teachers at Holmdel Schools with regard to the Innovation Fund (Mini Grant) Program.

We are so thankful to be able to incorporate new drums into our Holmdel Pep Band. These have elevated both the sound and spirit of our band, helping us perform at a higher level. These new instruments have inspired us to try new music and get students playing instruments they haven't tried before. We are excited that we are able to conduct the band in a clean and professional manner that represents the Holmdel community as a whole. The incorporation of new drums into the Pep Band Program allows the program to thrive. Percussion is the heartbeat of a band, and now that heartbeat is able to expand onto the field. Thanks to your funding, we are able to provide students with the tools they deserve to feel confident and proud.

I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to the HFEE for the generous grant to create a butterfly garden here at Village. This project will provide the children a unique, hands-on opportunity to learn about native plants and observe the fascinating life cycle of monarch butterflies in real-time. We are excited about the educational and environmental impact this garden will have on our school and community.
