First, kudos to Officer Delima for your service to the community as documented in the DPD Twitter post above.

I love that video, John. Have you heard that the 230 children who signed up for the Dunwoody Elementary School orchestra may end up with no orchestra? No funds. And currently no approved plan to raise funds.
Wait, let me amend that. They have each paid $50 but there are other issues.
Maybe Kittredge can "lend" one of their 2 band teachers to the students of Dunwoody Elementary.
This is a developing story. I don't know the details. Please stay tuned.
I know that my son, who is a 4th grader at Dunwoody Elementary, took a check for $50 to school, and I have rented a violin for at least the next two months!

There is both a band and orchestra teacher listed on the DES site. Good news?
KMS has a band teacher that they have not earned. If Patti's information is correct, then the system should shift that teacher to DES.
I'm guessing more info won't be available until after the holiday weekend.
