John Reddick of NYC’s Harlem Link Charter School shares a letter with HourGlass about how Maria Torres’ foundation MTEAF is motivating young people to put their best foot forward. This past November MTEAF introduced a new musical theater class to Harlem Links students who went on to perform the song “Fame,” on February 13, 2015, as part of an anti-bullying campaign and the students are now in rehearsals for the musical called the “True Colors of Weedle.” Book and Lyrics By June Rachelson - Ospa Music by Allison Brewster
