Donations will be accepted until the end of January. Please reference “Piano Repair” in the memo line if you are sending a check. Blackwood Arts has agreed to match the amount raised and also pay for any additional costs that may be required. Repair work will begin this month and is anticipated to conclude in April. Mrs. Bishop and the students in the music department are looking forward to using the piano in the future. Thank you again for your willingness to make this a successful endeavor!

Anyone willing to donate money to the repair of the grand piano can make a check payable to Moniteau School District with “piano repair” written in the subject line. Donations can be delivered to the high school office or the administration office.
