I’m sending this to ask you to cast your vote for a school in the Rockaway that was damaged in Sandy. Lowe’s Corporation is helping schools improve their theaters and they’re choosing which schools to help based on who gets the highest number of votes
CNN reported last December on Hurricane Sandy damage to the Rockaways Scholars Academy. According to Make A Musical:
Smash, Lowes and iTheatrics have partnered to help schools across America improve their theaters. Up to 30 schools will be selected as finalists, the five schools earning the top votes will receive gift cards from Lowes to help improve their theaters. Vote for your favorite School!
