«The combination of a high cost of living, shortage of good jobs, lack of
affordable housing and poor
performing schools makes it hard for middle class families — and their children — to get ahead, or even hold their own,» she said.
The Any Given Child initiative, created by the John F. Kennedy Center for the
Performing Arts, seeks to bring access, balance, and equity to each child's arts education, using an
affordable model that combines the resources of the
school district, local arts groups, and the Kennedy Center.
