The Montgomery County Educational Foundation presents its First Annual Benefit Concert.  The concert will be at the Blacksburg Presbyterian Church at 3pm on Saturday, February 2nd, 2013.  Featured performers will include the Blacksburg Children's Chorale Chamber Choir, the Kipps Elementary School Orff and Recorder Ensemble, the Blacksburg High School Madrigal Singers, the Children's Choir from Eastern Montgomery Elementary School, and Robert Chafin, tenor and Erica Ann Sipes, piano.  Ticket prices will be $12 general public, $10 seniors, and $8 students and youth under 18 years old.  Tickets can be purchased ahead of time (info coming soon), or at the door one hour prior to the event based on ticket availability.  The Montgomery County Educational Foundation is a public foundation committed to supporting the Montgomery County public schools. They believe that the people who know what our schools need are the ones who are in the system, and provide grants to teachers, students, staff, and school organizations based on a grant proposal review process. Funds are available for all grade levels — pre-K through 12th.  The foundation supports area schools by supplementing their funding as well as by providing funds in areas outside the scope of existing funding.  Examples of potential funding areas include extra materials for teachers, after-school programs for students, and teacher development programs.
