This was no ordinary field trip! My son and several other students in his fifth grade class at Rio Vista Elementary got to visit Paramount Studios. One might think that this was special enough, but it got even better, the students did workshops with and performed for the cast of Glee!
It was all part of a non-profit program called Education Through Music. With all of the budget cuts that LAUSD had been doing, the music program has been hit hard. Thankfully, our little school was able to bring the guitar/recorder program back this year with the help of Education Through Music. And with the help of people like the folks at Glee! there should be many more kids getting the gift of music. Glee! donated $100,000 to Education Through Music the day my son performed.
Rio Vista Elementary is a school of about 400 students that serves students who live in North Hollywood, Toluca Lake, and Studio City.
