Hi! I’m Carly, a 16-year-old who has been playing piano for over a decade and teaching it for 6 years.

I started my little business called Kid-to-KidMusic 6 years ago and, as a 10-year-old, taught piano to other kids in the neighborhood. Right now we have openings for kids between ages 5 and 15.

On Saturday, May 15th, B.F Day Elementary School’s PTSA will hold its second annual Dragon Quest from 2 to 4 p.m.

This fundraiser for the school, conceived during the 2020 lockdown, is a way to raise much-needed funds for the PTA while also keeping kids active and socially distanced. Families walk through Wallingford and Fremont hunting for Sunny, the school mascot, and get sponsored for every dragon they find. The more dragons the kids find, the better.

If you’d like to help out B.F. Day school and participate in this fun community event, print this PDF of Sunny the Sun …
