Congratulations on raising over $61,000! I’m excited to bring a Harmony Monsters concert to Bay Farm on March 17. As a Bay Farm parent and TK music teacher, sharing music with your kids is truly the highlight of my week. Harmony Monsters has been serving schools across Alameda and the East Bay for nearly 10 years, and I’ve shared a Spotify playlist so your kids can start singing along.

March 2–13

The Golden Sneaker Contest is designed to encourage students to walk, bike, scooter, carpool, or take transit to school.
