Bethany Grant, Elementary Music Specialist – B.F. Day Elementary 

At B.F. Day, Bethany Grant is always striving to create special moments and opportunities for students of all ages. Even though she has limited time at the school, Grant has managed to enlist the collaborative help of other members in their school community to make a visibly positive impact on our students.  

Grant offers other diverse experiences and ways to connect with all types of music. According to her colleague, Brenna Kamppi, Grant teaches with every kid in mind. 

“They likely won’t forget the things she has shown them,” Kamppi wrote. “She is dedicated, thoughtful, and approaches every day with a sense of humor and lightness.” 

Grant accepted her award in a gym packed with excited students. After receiving her award, a line of students gave her tokens of appreciation – everything from handmade leis and cards to paper crowns. 

“The most rewarding thing about the work I do is getting to develop relationships with students who grow over the course of six years as they matriculate through B.F. Day,” Grant said. “It’s so gratifying to walk alongside students and guide them to find the things they love about music … and learn how rewarding it is to build community through making music with others.”
