The owner of Knoxville’s School of Rock, Greg Franklin, had a unique challenge and opportunity when he was approached by Jackie Woods, the mother of one of his employees. She wanted to honor the memory of her recently departed husband, Sean, by underwriting School of Rock tuition for kids who need it most. Greg was happy to oblige, but realized he might have a tricky time determining which families would be eligible for scholarships. He would need a fair, equitable system to meet families’ needs. That’scomplicated and expensive to pull off. In a moment of inspiration, Greg approached Joy of Music SchoolExecutive Director Frank Graffeo and explained the situation. He called the right place. Greg and Frank held meetings to sort out details according to Jackie’s wishes. Soon thereafter, Jackie generously set up the Sean Woods Memorial Scholarship with the Joy of Music School, which allowed four of our students—Nick, Sam, Auzlo, and Carpenter—to attend the School ofRock this summer. They had unforgettable experiences they would never have enjoyed without Jackie. We are happy to report that the scholarship will be in place for years to come. We look forward to more rocking and rolling thanks to Greg, the School of Rock, and our new friend Jackie.
