Without donations from people like you, our students wouldn't have the same opportunities to do what they love- play! From instruments to uniforms to meals, our programming works to provide for our students and it's all thanks to the generosity of donors. givenola.org/organization/t…

Yesterday was bananas! We had such a fun time second-lining with @sunbum last night. From banana suits to sunscreen goodies, our kids loved participating in this event. Thank you for thinking of us for your New Orleans tour stop!

Happy Mother’s Day to the moms and mother-figures who are such an important part of our Roots family! Pictured here are just a few family members of our youth. We hope you are feeling the love today!

It's #mentalhealthawarenessmonth & our Licensed Clinical Social Worker wanted to share: “A strong mindset sees opportunity in every challenge, growth in every mistake, and light in every dark place. You can’t control everything around you, but you can control how you respond.”

Thank you so much The Domain Companies and our board member Mary McCullough for the generous donation of spring-time goodie bags! Nothing's sweeter than the occasional little treat at band practice. #marchingband #neworleans #supportyourroots #therootsofmusic

Roots is thrilled to announce that we're moving! On Wednesday, June 25th, we officially closed on a campus located at the former St. Gabriel Catholic Church property in Pontchartrain Park. We celebrated the news with a sparkling apple cider toast alongside our kids and families.

Although what's rolling through the region this week might not be a full-on hurricane, it's always important to feel confident in your storm-prep process. Roots is here for you and there's no time like the present to prepare.
