PIE’s funding helps keep teachers like myself, whose jobs help enrich and provide better education for our students, in PAUSD schools. PIE’s funding also helps provide necessary instruments and materials for our students, so they all have opportunities to succeed.

It’s rewarding to see students succeed at things they didn’t know they could do before! Watching a group’s growth over the course of a year is incredibly rewarding as a music teacher.
