Get ready for the Music-a-thon!  Students will play and sing all day long! The Music-a-thon culminates in live performances created by our students for the:

Young Musicians Showcase, February 8th @ 7pm in Hamilton Commons 

Please join us for music, prizes, treats and more music! 

The Music-a-thon is FOMAHI's biggest fundraiser of the year. We aim to raise $40,000 to support our amazing music program. These funds supplement needs that are not covered by the school, such as sheet music, instrument purchases & repairs, tutors, concert fees, travel, etc. 

Please watch for an envelope your student will bring home to seek donations. Parents and guardians, please sign and return envelopes by February 7, with or without donations. There will be two class prizes for the highest participation! 

You, your friends, family and neighbors can donate anytime here:

All are welcome to join the next Board Meeting, happening in person on February 13th from 7:00-8:30 pm in the Hamilton Library.
