A BIG Shout-out to the School of Rock of Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky! They will be providing much of the entertainment from 12-1 PM at our upcoming Walk-N-Roll on May 30th! Thank you for your willingness to participate and share your awesome talents!

School of Rock is a growing, passionate community dedicated to enriching lives through performance-based music education. Youth and adult students learn to play an instrument - guitar, bass, drums, keys or vocals - and how to work as a team in a band. We'll teach you how to rock on stage and in life! You can check out our schools in Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky by scheduling a free trial lesson. For Cincinnati, call 513.586.ROCK or visit cincinnati.schoolofrock.com and for NKY, call 859.999.ROCK or visit nky.schoolofrock.com. Unleash your inner rock star at School of Rock where music takes center stage!

Hello local SMA community! We have incredible momentum with our fundraising efforts leading in to the last month and a half before the Walk-N-Roll on May 30th! We have raised over $20,000, and on our way to the $50,000 goal!

If you've been to our event in the past, you've probably noticed the yard signs of pictures of our SMA kids/adults and angels. If your picture (or child's picture) needs to be updated or added, please send a high resolution pic to:

[email protected] no later than Friday, May 1st so that we have time to process and print these before the event.

Keep the momentum going!
