KCPS sings the praises of Barry Manilow!

The amazing entertainer Barry Manilow recently donated a piano (for the second time) to Kansas City Public Schools for its music program. He's asking members of the public to consider making their own donations of musical equipment to KCPS. Mr. Manilow also gave 100 tickets to students and staff for his Feb. 12 show at the Sprint Center. To show our gratitude, KCPS will be posting photos and videos on social media today and tomorrow of some of our staff who will be singing along with Mr. Manilow at his show. If you want to join the fun, say "thanks" and encourage others to make similar donations of musical equipment, do your own post and use the hashtag #KCPSLovesManilow. Thank you, Mr. Manilow, for your generosity and spirit!
