Please Help the Fine Arts Department!
The Black River Local School District is undergoing a Fine Arts Audit to determine commendations and needs for the fine arts in the district. The Fine Arts Audit Committee has been meeting since the fall in order to compile information for the final report that will be presented to the Black River Board of Education this coming fall.
We are asking for as many community members as possible to complete the following survey in order to help improve the school district's fine arts.
And the Winner is.....
BON JOVI!!!!
