YouthQuest Big Sales Night Freeman Elementary

YouthQuest Big Sales Night Freeman Elementary

Freeman Elementary School is one of several schools in Genesee County, Michigan, that participate in the local YouthQuest afterschool program. YouthQuest is funded by the C.S. Mott Foundation and is coordinated by the Genesee Regional Chamber of Commerce.

It’s not every day that a third-grade class has the opportunity to produce and market its own music CD. But at Freeman Elementary School in Flint, Michigan, Jef Johnson, a learning guide for the YouthQuest afterschool program, used his skills as a music producer to introduce an enthusiastic class of 9-year-old singers to the recording industry.
