Help bring Sowah Mensah’s musician residency to Forest Edge Elementary! This March we are lucky to have a great opportunity for our school! Sowah Mensah, Ghanaian master drummer and founding member of the World Music Drumming Curriculum, is coming the week of March 22, 2027 through March 26, 2027 to work with ALL Forest Edge students. All students will have the opportunity to learn from him and perform by singing two songs and dancing with the Oregon Drumming Ensemble and FES Band and Orchestra accompanying them.  Your gift brings the Sowah Mensah musician residency to Forest Edge students 🎵 and helps our PTO fund hands-on music experiences that connect culture, rhythm, and creativity in the classroom. By donating, you support our mission to uplift FES through sponsored events, teacher-requested materials, and community-focused programs. Every contribution keeps music, learning, and school spirit growing for our students and staff. 🎶
