Children at Hathaway Elementary School performed a concert for their parents at the Washburn Performing Arts Center recently, under the direction of Hathaway music teacher Amy Switzer. The instruments were purchased through a grant from the Washougal Schools Foundation and the Hathaway Boosters.

Students at Hathaway Elementary School are reaping the benefits after their teacher secured grants to purchase nearly $4,000 worth of xylophones, metallophones, and other mallet instruments.Amy Switzer applied and received a $1,000 Creative Classroom Grant from the Washougal Schools Foundation, and more than $3,000 from the school’s Booster Club.

“It is awesome to work in a district that supports its music programs,” she said.
