WIRT SCHOOLS WILL GET SAVE THE MUSIC FOUNDATION GRANT

(01/01/2001)
Students in eight West Virginia public schools, including Wirt County Middle School, will enjoy the sounds that new musical instruments make in their bands and music classes, thanks to a partnership between the West Virginia Division of Culture and History (WVDCH) and the VH1 Save The Music Foundation.

For the fourth year, The Clay Center for the Arts and Sciences also will join as a partner in this effort.

On Oct. 22-23, WVDCH Commissioner Randall Reid-Smith and Renée Margocee, arts director, will join Chiho Okuizumi Feindler, grantee and compliance manager for VH1 Save The Music Foundation, on a tour of schools across the state that are participating in the program this year.

The presentation for Wirt County Middle School is Oct. 23, 8 a.m.
