I keep thinking about how quickly this summer is going by! It seems the older I get the faster time goes. Soon both my kids will be gearing up to go back to school! One of their favourite subjects in school is music. Both my girls have learned to play instruments. It would terrible to think of a school with no music.
Energizer is partnering with the VH1 Save The Music Foundation to help restore instrumental music education in America’s public schools. They have enlisted the help of Grammy-nominated platinum recording artist, Jordin Sparks as their VH1 Save The Music Ambassador.
Here’s some of the fun stuff planned for the promotion!
TODAY (July 28) Jordin Sparks performed live in Times Square in New York City in a free concert!
