Mission Statement
The EWHS Music Boosters Club is a nonprofit, charitable association organized for the purpose of supporting the EWHS Music Department. Our functions include:
1) providing support to the staff and students.
2) raising supplementary funds to benefit the Music Department.
3) providing scholarships for music students.
Membership – No dues!
All parents/guardians of EWHS music students are members by virtue of their student’s participation in the music program.
Parent participation enables our Music Teachers to do what they do best… spend their time working directly with our music students. Please consider attending Music Boosters meetings and volunteering.
Meetings
Check the monthly calendar (found on this website) for meeting dates. All EWHS music parents are invited to attend. We look forward to seeing you this year! Contact us for more information!
