“This is a unique opportunity for the students and community of Fremont Professional Development Middle School. Beyond the tremendous support we (Fremont) have already received from Team Stratosphere, I am excited for the impact this fundraiser will have in putting a musical instrument in the hand of each and every Lancer, said Antonio Rael, Principal of Fremont PDMS.” “We are excited to partner with John C. Fremont Professional Development Middle School to help sustain programs, like musical arts, that are at risk of running out of money in today’s tough economic environment. This event not only is a chance to give Fremont another avenue to raise funds, but it is an invitation to the Las Vegas community to support this rewarding program, said Keith Pakish, ACEP Community Connection Chairman.”
