One of the many SEF grants Steve Chetcuti has  received to make our SMS music program so wonderful, he was given the funds to purchase a digital music studio with computers, key-boards, microphones and software for instrumental music  students to practice, compose and record music for auditions and for archiving their musical  accomplishments.

The SHS Marching Band’s Lauren Campbell was awarded a grant to purchase a used tuba and used baritone horn, to replace “instrumental” pieces that make our Marching Band such a wonderful treat!
