Dear Dedham Band Supporters,

We are so proud of how many of you have stepped up to tell DPS that cutting 4th and 5th grade instruments is not acceptable.  Now that the petition is closing, it is time for you to PLEASE reach out to the select board, Superintendent Murphy and the School Committee to keep this movement going.

Let them know that the extremely expensive after-school fifth-grade only lessons are not a replacement for an actual instrumental program.  Let them know families care!

Select Board:

Erin Boles Welsh- Chair- eboleswelsh@dedhamma.gov

Dimitria Sullivan- dsullivan1@dedhamma.gov

James MacDonald- jmacdonald@dedhamma.gov

Dennis Teehan- dteehan@dedhamma.gov

Michelle Persson Reilly- mpreilly@dedhamma.gov
