As the holiday season is upon us, my heart is filled with gratitude for every single one of my students and the network of people they represent - family, friends, teachers, coaches, etc. 

Parents, without you, music in our schools does not happen. Thank you for making it an important part of your child's education. 

Mrs. Guevara and Mrs. Mendoza, thank you for your encouragement, support and guidance! 

Gowan PTO, thank you for your support in helping our Gowan bands with the purchase of music as well as the fundraiser that helped us reach our goal for buses this year! 

Ms Solorio and Ms Thompson, I don't know what I would do without you two! Go, team, go!
