Sahm Family Foundation

Project: Expand the Arts & Music Program at the Palapa School and Learning Center.
Thanks to the Sahm Family Foundation, The Palapa Society of Todos Santos, A.C. was able to launch an innovative Art Program. The Sahm funding has allowed us the potential to incorporate the fine arts into all core curriculum subject areas for all students in a way that enhances the primary subject matter while expanding awareness and personal experiences of each student in various art areas. For those students from lower-income families, our art program is their first opportunity to practice fine arts, as their families cannot usually afford art-related activities. This art and music program is also a way to close the gap between students from different socioeconomic backgrounds within our school and community. This aligns with Palapa’s overall mission to improve the wellbeing and opportunities of all families in Todos Santos.
