The Bozeman Schools Foundation recently received four big donations adding up to thirty-one thousand dollars in total.

"We're really grateful for all of these grants because we could not do it without them they really
help us move our programs forward and also show that our community is really confident in what were doing and were really excited about that." said Mary Jo Odonell, the executive director for the Bozeman School Foundation.

A portion of the money will be used to help improve the music department by providing new instruments for students. The rest of the donations will be applied towards the spark grants program to allow for new creative programs and opportunities that wouldn't normally be covered by school funding.
