Grace, fresh off her Grand Ole Opry debut and recently named Instrumentalist of the Year at the Americana Awards, shared her journey as a professional musician at just 18 years old. Together with our teachers, she inspired students with stories of passion, perseverance, and the joy of making music.
Huge thanks to Grace, Krannert, and our Franklin music team for creating such a memorable experience!







This year, 15 teachers each received $500 to shop for classroom needs, plus supply kits to help kick off the school year. Over the past five years, this partnership has provided more than $40,000 in support to Franklin classrooms!
We’re grateful for Serra Subaru’s continued commitment to our students, staff, and schools.
