St. Anne School Instrumental Music Program The Westside Music Foundation has raised and secured over $10,000 in funds and donations to establish an instrumental music program at St. Anne School, a Kindergarten-8th Grade, Title I school in Santa Monica with 70% of its students qualifying for the Federal Free Lunch Program (family income at or below 130% of the federal poverty level).
