A grant from

A grant from the Communities of Coastal Georgia Foundation will allow GIYO to offer small group and individual strings lessons this fall at Jane Macon Middle School to students from Brunswick High School, Jane Macon Middle School and Sterling Elementary. Through a collaboration with the Boys and Girls Club, these activities will be offered on Tuesday and Thursday afternoon from 4:15 to 6:00 p.m.

Shown above is foundation board member Rene Shelnutt (2nd row, left) presenting a check to GIYO president Russ Marane (center) and June Camp director Stephenie Powell (right). Joining them for the presentation were (1st row, left to right) BHS student and GIYO violist Kylie Dallas and JMMS students Linnea Miller, Myra Joseph and Summer Bonner.

Mary Pipkin
& Brianna Milks Honored

Former GMS students Noelia Caballero (far left) and Sarah Weese (second from the right) returned to their alma mater when orchestra instructor Mary Pipkin was honored at the school’s “Spread your Wings and Fly” concert. In recognition of Pipkin’s 26 years of service, long-time classical music supporters Ted and JoAnn Davis created a $500 scholarship at Glynn Academy to be given to the graduate who had been the district’s best strings advocate. This year’s award was given to graduating senior Brianna Milks. who donated more than 150 volunteer hours to expand the strings program at St Francis Xavier School. Others pictured above are Ms. Pipkin (2nd from left), Milks (center) and GMS principal Robin Hunter.
