b'WELCOME!Dear Friends, Thank you for joining us to celebrate our BAA Foundation Champions Commonwealth of Massachusetts GovernorCharlie Baker and Maristela Rapo, Founder and President of Giving The Glam and to enjoy BAA Rocks/Bringing Back the Arts! We also want to thank our co-hosts for this event, the Boston Arts Academy Foundations Advisory Council.This performance demonstrates that Boston Arts Academys students continue to persevere and to push the boundaries of their creativity, despite the many challenges of these last few years. They have embraced flexibility and have rethought what it means to showcase their art via live streams and virtual performances. We are incredibly proud of what our students have achieved.As we look forward to a brighter future, when we can return to in-person performances and gather to celebrate the arts in our beautiful new school building in fall 2022, we recognize and are grateful for you, our friends, who support our diverse and talented students and help them to realize their dreams.Your contributions bridge the annual multimillion-dollar gap between BAAs allocation from Boston Public Schools, and the true cost of an arts-intensive and college preparatory education.Thank you for supporting the people and programs at Boston Arts Academy, our citys only public high school for the visual and performing arts. We invite you to visit bostonartsacademy.org/foundation/donate to make your best gift to support our communitys brightest artists-scholars-global citizens.Gratefully,Denella J. ClarkAnne R.
