Strathmore High School received $2,400 from Golden West Broadcasting.

According to music teacher Bryan Allsopp, the funding will go towards the school's music program.

"We kind of spread it around for whatever is needed in the program," said Allsopp. "We do everything from purchasing concert performance shirts to books and music and reeds and instruments."

The funds will also go towards storage space and helping fund a trip to the United Kingdom for a seven-day tour.

"The music program tends to be pretty expensive. We just bought four or five new instruments, and it was $20,000. It adds up pretty quickly."

Allsopp added that it's 'absolutely fantastic' to receive the funding.

"There's a really great core support in this town. Small towns always tend to have that."

 Allsop has been a teacher at Strathmore High School for over a decade.
