Mr. Golinski and Drums of Thunder's Story

Mr. G and Drums of Thunder have meant so much to the kids this year.  With the first full year back in-person, Drums of Thunder has been more than just an amazing musical experience for our kids - it has provided the valuable community and connection that we all needed.  

In lieu of hosting a toast for Mr. G this year, let's send him and Drums of Thunder some love!  Buy an MFEE Teacher Tribute to him, and you will help fund MFEE's Fall 2022 Educational Excellence grants.  

Donate any amount, and MFEE will send Mr. G a handwritten card letting him know you donated in his honor.

Over the years, some of the best grant proposals that MFEE has funded have come from our related arts teachers. They submit ideas that enrich and enliven arts programs across the schools, for all students. 

Mr. G was awarded a grant this year for $500 to purchase a xylophone.  He explained his vision in his grant proposal: "Through the MFEE's investment into a beginner level xylophone, students - who spend so much time understanding the foundations of rhythm - will now be able to apply their skills to the areas of melody and harmony. As a result, students who choose to pursue their percussive experiences beyond the walls of Hillside will leave the school with greater skills that will help create bridges towards their matriculation into other music programs."
