Music Recital a Success

The Neighborhood Academy of Music held its annual musical Benefit Recital at Mt. Zion United Methodist Church on Sunday, November 23. Seventy-six students from Neighborhood Academy of Music played piano, guitar, violin, saxophone, and drums. The home school band performed, as well as several vocal soloists. Artwork created by art students enrolled in art classes was also displayed.

$603 in cash and gift cards was raised for Safe Child of NC, a non-profit organization that helps to educate families against child abuse. Approximately $100 in other supplies were donated to Safe Child, also.

The children (and families) loved the opportunity to experience the fruits of their musical lessons.
