Everyone's favorite comeback queen, Britney Spears, made a surprise visit to a junior high school in New York's Bronx neighborhood last Wednesday. The students of John Philip Sousa Junior High, who were thrilled to meet the uber pop star, were even more pleased when she presented the school with a $10,000 check for the school's music program! Thanks to her generosity, the music program, which is only a year old, will be naming its music studio after Britney.


During her visit, the students put on a special performance of "I Am Woman," courtesy of the eight-piece band called The Sousatones and a seven girl chorus.

"When you're ready to take us on the road for an opening act, we're ready," band director Sal Mazzola told Britney. She replied, "You'll be the first people I call."

The donation was from Elizabeth Arden, the cosmetics company behind Britney's perfumes. "I've been working with the people at Elizabeth Arden for the last five years, and I know how passionate everyone is about the school," Britney said.

"I really enjoyed the time I spent at the John Philip Sousa Middle School. I loved hearing the school orchestra and the children sang so beautifully. The fact that Elizabeth Arden made such a large donation for the school music studio in my name was so generous."

    Am I really reading this
    dumb comment... or is
    it a joke to brag anyone
    is showing off stupid...

    Grrr

    Take two heaping cups of patience
    One heartful of love
    Two handfuls of generosity
    Dash of laughter
    One headful of understanding
    Sprinkle generously with kindness
    Add plenty of FAITH and mix well
    Spread over a period of a lifetime
    Serve to everyone you meet.

    And have patients for the one's
    it takes longer to figure out it's
    an open book of no affection for
    those post...

    Profitting off children is
    my focus...

    And children aren't taking,
    they are being taken from
    so that "who" can brag...

    If it didn't hit you... it
    was because they know
    the post that are hitting
    and it is not a vanity site...

    It's a site to vibe equally...

    About isssue...

    Peace
