Giving Back

November is a month of thankfulness and the beginning of the holiday season!

At Rogers School of Music,  we believe in giving back and helping people in a tangible way.  This summer, Rogers School of Music started a new program called Music for Missions. We are providing keyboards, guitars, microphones, drum equipment, and other supplies to missionaries in Mexico so they can have music in their churches! 

Rogers School of Music also wants to make a difference right here in Minneapolis. We are supporting a program called WOVEN--a ministry of North Central University that offers free music lessons for kids in the inner city. (WOVEN:  With One Voice Energizing Neighborhoods)  Some of our teachers have taught with this program and now we want to help in a real, tangible way by sending  monetary donations to this organization.  You can donate your lightly used music books for these students to use! Just drop them off at our front desk.

The director of WOVEN, Joanne Kersten says: " I was just at an event and saw another WOVEN student who just graduated from Spring Lake Park High School. She first came to WOVEN as six-year-old refugee child from Africa. Their family had been in the refugee camp for four years. For about 10 years North Central University students taught and mentored her. Now she is on her way to study to become a registered nurse! She told me about her WOVEN teachers how important nights at WOVEN were in her life. Thanks for helping this program. So appreciated!"

We also want to make a difference right here in our city. There is a box in our entryway for you to donate winter  coats and canned food to  CAER.
From their Facebook page:  "CAER still needs coats, boots, snowpants, mittens, scarves, hats & gloves for adults & children in all sizes!"

Please bring those coats that your kids have outgrown and let's bless someone this winter!

Thanks for being a part of Rogers School of Music and for "giving back" with us this November!
