In a recent article published by The Spirit of Jefferson, Ranson Elementary School received a $400 grant from Friends of Music to fund the purchase of nine glockenspiels and four replacement mallets. The school's music teacher, Bonnie Pullen, emphasized the importance of these instruments, noting that their piano-like layout aids students in learning percussion and keyboard skills across all grade levels. This grant is part of a broader initiative to enhance music education in schools within Jefferson and Berkeley counties.
