Mr. Haas and the ISD 166 music department would like to thank the Lioness Club for the two grants given to the band and choir.

The ISD 166 school district is expanding its instrument inventory to assist families with affordable instrument rentals. With the help of the LionessClub and donations from community members, Mr. Haas has been able to order 10 brass instruments and 10 percussion kits for the band.

A second grant provided by the Lioness Club allowed the purchase of a digital piano to accompany the choirs in rehearsals, lessons, and performances. This piano will also be used for general music classes.
