Creativity
Inspiring the Next Generation of Artists and Performers
CLASS Education Foundation champions creativity through music and the arts enriching students’ lives and helping them discover their unique voices.
Supporting the Arts in Our Schools
The CLASS Education Foundation proudly supports Visual and Performing Arts (VAPA) programs across our schools! Through outreach to local businesses and community fundraising events, we help bring more music and arts opportunities to students throughout the district.
How has CLASS helped so far?
Thanks to Proposition 28 state funding, music education returned to the Sulphur Springs Union School District in the 2022–2023 school year! Every third-grade student learned to play the recorder, marking an exciting milestone for our arts programs.
In 2023–2024, CLASS expanded the program with a $5,000 donation to purchase ukuleles for fourth graders—allowing students to continue developing their musical skills.
“I love the music program. My son has very much enjoyed the ukulele this year! I hope it continues.”
For the 2024–2025 school year, CLASS further enhanced early music education by purchasing percussion instruments and shakers for students in transitional kindergarten through second grade.
What’s Next for CLASS?
CLASS is currently working to secure funding for classroom xylophones to support the District’s music instruction. These instruments will provide hands-on opportunities for ensemble work, creativity, and improvisation, helping students build collaboration, problem-solving, and self-expression skills through music.
We’re also planning to host a District-wide music festival! A fun, family-friendly event that will showcase student talent and celebrate the joy of music learning!
