El Sereno Middle School Music Department

If SEIU Local 99 does not reach an agreement, they will likely go on an Unfair Practice Charge (UPC) strike starting this Tuesday, April 14, and UTLA will join them in solidarity, like we did in 2023. ✊🏽

Celebrating our 14th year on Facebook. Thank you for your continuing support. We could never have made it without you. 🙏🤗🎉

It’s been a minute since we have posted anything on here, but we thought you should know - El Sereno remains an AWARD WINNING MUSIC DEPARTMENT.

ALL THREE OF OUR INTERMEDIATE AND ADVANCED ENSEMBLES PLACED FIRST IN THEIR CATEGORIES WITH A SUPERIOR RATING.

We did THAT.
