Principal quote – Mr. Ryan Bennett:
“Thank you so much for such a wonderful night and it was an absolute honor … I know that everyone … had a blast at the concert. I have talked with several parents and a few of my teachers that attended the event and they were very impressed with everything.
I would like to personally thank you for the grant of $2,500. I know that Ms. Collins will put this money to good use. I am so happy for Ms. Collins because she is such an amazing music teacher and educator.
Once again, thank you and the Give A Note Foundation for the dedication you have with the education of our youth across the country….especially in the area of music.”
