Dr. Phil & Kris Allen visit CLAHS #9
On Saturday, Dr. Phil, his wife Robin, their son Jordan – ambassador to “Little Kids Rock Across America” – and reigning American Idol champion Kris Allen stopped by Central Los Angeles High School #9 for Visual & Performing Arts to watch a teacher training that empowered LAUSD school teachers to run unique, modern band programs.
“Every teacher could have been doing a million things this weekend, but instead they chose to come here and get trained to help these kids,” Dr. Phil said. “They all know that if they’re not there to provide the students with the leadership and to teach them, then this program is just not going to happen.”
This workshop and generous donation by the Dr. Phil Foundation will provide schools in the LAUSD with rock instruments, software and materials to run their own modern band programs. Teachers who complete the workshop will begin leading “Little Kids Rock Across America” classes this school year, helping reach more than 1,000 needy students in Los Angeles.
“Little Kids Rock Across America profoundly affects kids in a way that very often NOTHING else does,” said Desiree Fowler, a current Los Angeles Little Kids Rock teacher who has been running a pilot Little Kids Rock Across America “Modern Band” program at her school. “Little Kids Rock Across America is giving these kids something to be great at. My door is always open and students are at school, rather than on the streets, because they want to be.”
