October 2019 Scholarship Recipient:
Recipient: Kayan Johnson, student
Project: New violin and private lessons
Details: As an 11th grader Kayan had reached the point where he was being held back by the sub-standard instrument he was provided by his school and the lack of an opportunity for private lessons. Our teacher recognized the potential he had if he could get access to a better instrument and private instruction.
Solution: SPAC provided him a professional grade violin with weekly private lessons in addition to the bi-weekly after-school group ensemble held at his school.
Impact: Kayan will be an anchor in his school groups and this opportunity changes the trajectory of his future prospects.
Life Expectancy of Donation: Life-long
