Thank you all for contributing to such a successful event! As we know,
the only way we can prepare our children for their future challenges in
our new economies is to have them leaving the classroom firing on all
cylinders, and the arts are central to this solution.
We look forward to seeing you at future events like this!
A
special thanks to our host Steven Wright of Holland and Knight,
speakers, Charles Coe of The Massachusetts Cultural Council, musician
Alex Alvear and residency artist Ernesto Diaz, with his students from
Gardner Pilot Academy in Allston, for their fantastic performance.

During Charles Coe's remarks he referred to Mr. Roger's landmark speech about the importance of arts education.
