The Fairview video collected 11,069 votes -- earning the students second place and $10,000.
Fairview's video kicks off with an impressive student rendition of Marvin Gaye's "Let's Get It On," followed by clips from the school's many plays and musical performances. In between songs, Fairview students gush about the arts program and the supportive environment at the school. Their sentiments are wrapped up by the last student in the video, who says the arts program has "given me the confidence to be who I am and not be afraid because of the community."
You can see the Fairview video on the Glee Give A Note website.
As education budgets continue to get slashed, school arts programs are often the first to go. With very limited funding from the school district -- which covers only about 2 percent of its total arts budget -- Fairview has to subsidize those programs with fundraising, and the Glee grant will come in handy to buy a few more tubas and costumes.
All told, Give a Note has given a million dollars to schools across the country.
