The Josh Endo Memorial for Continuing Support of Music Education (JEMM) Fund, an endowed fund of the Ithaca Public Education Initiative (IPEI), recently announced the 2019-20 award of $1,000. JEMM annually supports music education needs with priority for elementary student instrument rental scholarships and secondary student instrumental music group trip scholarships. IPEI administers JEMM with help from the Fine Arts Booster Group (FABG). JEMM celebrates the late Josh Endo's love of music and his music education in the Ithaca City School District (ICSD).
ICSD Fine and Performing Arts Director Daphne Shululu noted, "On behalf of the entire Fine and Performing Arts Department, I want to say 'thank you' to the donors, families and volunteers who made this donation possible. This generous gift will be used to help our students cultivate their creative potential and love for music. This support for the arts is greatly appreciated."
