Support the Reynold Ellis Raise Our Voice Fund

Mr. Reynold Ellis was a beloved Choir Director in Shaker from 1946 to 1973. Mr. Ellis brought a wide range of music to the choir concerts and was at the helm of each High School musical. He also spearheaded popular student performances at A Night for the Red and White.

The Reynold Ellis Raise Our Voice Fund was established in tribute to this stellar Shaker Heights High School teacher and the positive influence he had on so many Shaker students. Contributions to this Fund support teaching resources for the choirs, costumes, and travel assistance for international choir trips.

Please support Shaker students as they raise their voices in song! Your gift to the The Reynold Ellis Raise Our Voice Fund will enhance the choir program and inspire a new generation of students to engage in choral music. Visit https://shakerschoolsfoundation.org/donate/ to make your gift today!
