The Community Foundation of Wabash County provides Good Deeds grants to help nonprofit organizations meet the basic needs of Wabash County citizens and provide enrichment experiences for those with limited resources and opportunities. The grant will fund a Summer Music Series for children at the library this summer.
“We’ll be working with Mandy Shull of Music Together Wabash to offer 8 weeks of classes for three age groups,” said Molly Magnus, Programming Coordinator. “Music Together sessions will be held for 0-5 year old children and their caregivers. Rhythm Kids sessions will be held for 4-6 and 6-8 year old kids. We're thrilled to offer this opportunity for music enrichment!” “Music has tremendous power to support the developing child,” explained Mandy Shull of Music Together. “It forges unique connections in the brain and enhances a child's language, cognitive, emotional, social and physical development, as well as their disposition to learn. Simply put, music learning supports all learning!” “This is an incredible opportunity for young children to develop music competence and appreciation,” shared Sarah Morbitzer, Children’s Department Manager. “The classes will run for 8 weeks, ensuring participants gain a solid foundation in early childhood music education. The music activities are designed to encourage daily movement and exercise. This is going to be a highly interactive, fun-filled, learning experience. I’m grateful to the Community Foundation for sponsoring the Summer Music Series!”
