About two-years ago, Principal Tobias approached the PTA Board about a vision that she had. She wanted there to be an outdoor space where students could come together to celebrate and make music. The space would be permanent and would be a focal point of the school. She found some examples and shared with us her ideas on where the project could be and how it might come together. Through the support of local community members, Paloma staff, and the Paloma PTA, a plan was developed to begin the process of raising the funds needed to make Janet's vision a reality.
The first annual Harmony Park Golf Tournament, presented by CORE Construction, was held on Saturday, May 4, 2019. Janet led the large planning committee as we met, reached out to community members, and ultimately hosted the tournament. The original goal was to raise $5,000 and have that money earmarked for the future Harmony Park. Due in large part to Janet’s leadership and motivation, the golf tournament and other fundraising efforts, raised nearly $20,000! This was enough to order and install the first set of instruments. Janet’s vision was coming true!
The first set of instruments have now been installed and the surrounding park has been created. We were working with Janet to determine a date for the ribbon-cutting ceremony that will officially introduce Harmony Park to the community. We will now work with the Paloma staff to plan the date for the official ribbon-cutting of the new “Janet Tobias Harmony Park.”
We’re not done though! Janet made it clear that her vision for Harmony Park included additional instruments, shade structures, and benches. The date for the 2nd Annual Harmony Park Golf Tournament has been secured (May 2, 2020) and we are still working hard to raise funds. The sudden passing of Principal Tobias has left us all reeling, but her memory will forever live on in our hearts and through her many contributions to the community and Paloma.
If you would like to help us fulfill Janet’s vision, please consider donating to the Paloma PTA and Harmony Park. Donations through the link will be earmarked for the “Janet Tobias Harmony Park.” Thank you.
