About the Elementary Instrumental Music Program
Padua Franciscan High School has been providing instrumental instruction to area elementary schools for decades. The partner- ships between Padua and our partner schools initially began under the direction of Mr. Wayne Miller at St. Charles Borromeo. In 2017, Padua expanded the program to include instruction for band and orchestra through the talents of three music teachers. Mrs. Andrea (Fatica) Mikolajczyk ‘02 and Mrs. Sara Marganski direct the band programs at St. Albert the Great, St. Ambrose,
St. Anthony of Padua, St. Charles Borromeo, St. Columbkille and Incarnate Word Academy. Mrs. Carrie (Griffiths) Woodie ’94 directs the orchestra programs at St. Albert the Great, St. Ambrose,
St. Anthony, St. Columbkille and Incarnate Word Academy. Students from these schools will join in several concerts hosted at
