Oliveira to Receive Musical Instruments

Oliveira Middle School will soon receive several musical instruments valued at $37,600, thanks to a generous donation by The Mr. Holland’s Opus Foundation. With many music programs across the county losing vital funding, the foundation helps under-served schools that do not have adequate funds to purchase or repair instruments. An application for support was submitted by Gaspar Garcia, the Oliveira Band Director, and the foundation found the program to be a worthwhile investment, allowing more students to be able to play and experience the benefits of music education.
