My son attends a fine arts magnet school in our town and last year they were named the Grammy Foundation's Signature School. You cannot begin to imagine the opportunities that this honor gave the students of this school Not only did they receive a $25,000 cash award, but twelve students from the school, my son included, were chosen to perform as an ensemble during the festivities of Grammy week! Not only did they have the opportunity to perform in front of some of the industries' finest members, they also had the thrill of actually attending the Grammy ceremony itself. And all of this was totally paid for by the Grammy Foundation.

In a time where many find that their arts programs are being slashed in order to accomodate athletic pursuits and other non-artistic endeavors, it is nice to know that the Grammy Foundation is actively working to keep arts in our schools! Participation in the arts keeps our kids grounded...with a dedication and a discipline that many of us adults could only wish for. Keep up the good work!!
