ATHFEST EDUCATION PROGRAM: "At Chase Street Elementary, we are very thankful for the new experience AthFest InSchool has brought to our school. The program graciously has coordinated musicians to come to the school during lunchtime to perform for our entire student body. Many of our students have not had exposure to live music, and it is amazing to see the atmosphere created in the cafeteria from the gift of music." -Adam L. Kurtz - Principal of Clarke County's Chase Street Elementary School.
