We are pleased to announce our first grant of 2026! Sydney Clark, local female beatboxer and songwriter, will return to E-STEM Middle School for a residency & performance.

Last year, Sydney had the opportunity to teach her first school group lessons (six, one-hour sessions with each of my classes) and it was a huge success! The kids loved working with Sydney and have been asking when she's coming back.

This spring E-STEM Middle School will be collaborating on a series of beatboxing and songwriting lessons culminating in a performance at our school on May 13 and a potential second concert at the Landmark Center on April 2 as part of the SPPS SPARC Live & Direct Series.
