What is PLAY it Forward?
PLAY it Forward is a SKJAJA program established to ensure that every student in CHCCS with a desire to participate in school band and orchestra programs has the instrument they need to enroll. The program is managed by Ann Daaleman, a retired and beloved Phillips Middle School orchestra teacher.
How it works:
-
PLAY It Forward partners with middle school band and orchestra teachers at the beginning of each school year to ensure every student who needs an instrument has one.
-
Members of the community are invited to donate band and orchestra instruments they no longer need to PLAY it Forward.
-
Ann works with instrument repair professionals to clean and refurbish the instruments, ensuring every instrument is fit to play before it lands in a student's hands.
Monetary donations to SKJAJA Fund also help support this program.
