Scottsdale school district faculty will perform in a special concert, "Music for the Kids," at 2 p.m., Sunday, Nov. 3, at the Scottsdale Center for the Arts, 7380 E. 2nd St., Scottsdale.

"It is another example of our fine arts teachers going the extra mile for students," said Pam Krewson, president of the Scottsdale Schools Arts in Education Council, which is sponsoring the concert, now in its fourth year.

"We are fortunate in our school community to have such a commitment to arts in education, from our talented and dedicated teachers to the volunteer efforts of the members of the Arts in Education Council," said Dr. Barbara F. Erwin, superintendent.

Tickets for the concert, which are only available at the door, are $5 for students, $10 for adults, and $20 for a family. Proceeds will fund summer music camp scholarships for district elementary and middle school band and orchestra students from schools that have 20 percent or more of their enrollment in the free or reduced lunch program. Last year, 18 students received scholarships totaling more than $4,000.

"The Scottsdale Schools Arts in Education Council does so much to help our students," Dr. Erwin said. "Children who have attended the past concerts delight in watching their teachers perform."

"The concert is a truly thoughtful and entertaining gift to our community," Mrs. Krewson noted.
