Jesse McCartney And Monica To Perform At “Get Schooled” Launch September 8

Hollywood, CA (CNS) – Multi-platinum recording artist Jesse McCartney and Grammy Award-winning singer and actress Monica will be performing at a live concert on Tuesday, September 8 for a kick-off event for “Get Schooled” in Hollywood.

The “Get Schooled” national initiative was developed by Viacom and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to help engage students, families and community members in an effort to improve America’s public education system and encourage more young people to finish their education.

The concert featuring McCartney and Monica will wrap up a day of event and activities held on the Paramount Pictures lot that will include over 400 local public school students, parents, teachers and school administrators.

“My understanding and love for music began in a music class in elementary school and was nurtured over the many years of my academic career. Get Schooled is a resource that gets students and communities involved in the education program so students can continue to find their passions, as I did mine. It’s an honor to be participating in this event that continues to motivate students to discover what they love,” said Jesse McCartney.

The day will also include a conference hosted by Stephen Colbert that will include presentations by Bill Gates, Viacom president and CEO Philippe Dauman, U.S. Deputy Secretary of Education Tony Miller, filmmaker Davis Guggenheim, author and political columnist Arianna Huffington, New York City Department of Education Chancellor Joel Klein and Los Angeles area high school athletic director Stephen Minix.
