So, why invest time into community building?

Social Emotional

  • Particularly in our time of remote and hybrid learning, we don’t necessarily get to see our students in person and don’t have the ability to check in one on one like we would normally get to do.
  • Builds trust between peers and between students and teacher.
  • Builds awareness.

Musical Investment

  • Field of Dreams-If you build it, they will come

Student Leadership

  • Future students have a positive example of what is expected of them
  • Internal supportive atmosphere
