A Farewell Message from the Dallin Music Teacher: Kam Dennis

Dear Dallin Community,

As many of you know, my last day as the general music teacher at Dallin will be October 10th. This is a bittersweet moment: while this decision is the best one for my family, it is not easy to leave a place and people who mean so much to me.

Dallin is where I began my career, and I could not have asked for a better group of students, families, and colleagues to grow alongside. Any success I’ve had as a teacher is rooted in this community. Dallin demanded the best from me, and in return, I witnessed the incredible successes of our students. Together, we built a space where courage, joy, and belonging thrived.

This school confirmed for me that teaching elementary music is the most rewarding way I can make a difference. I hope I have left a lasting mark not only as a music teacher, but as a member of this community and as a friend.

As I say goodbye, I leave you with this reminder: music is for everyone. Being musical is part of being human. It has the power to inspire, spark joy, unite us, and lift us up. Wherever your journey takes you, stay musical, keep amplifying belonging, and courageously pursue your goals.

Thank you again, Dallin community, for your love, your support, and the gift of letting me share music with you. It has been an honor to grow, sing, and shine alongside you. Though I am moving on, I will always carry Dallin in my heart.
