Concert to Help Send SEHS Students to China

Oklahoma City – As the only school in the Oklahoma City Public Schools District to offer a China Exchange Program, Southeast High School at 5401 S. Shields is once again holding a concert to raise money to help send students to the far-east.

            This is the third year of the program which hosts students from China and sends local students to China to study the culture and economics of the emerging world trade leader.

            “This is the education of a lifetime.” says Mrs. Mary Pipps Cloos, Chairperson of SEHS’s Career and Technical Education Program. “When we are talking about tomorrow’s leaders, they should be well informed and see firsthand how the world-market works.”

            In order for SEHS students to participate in the program, they must raise their own funds. The school is holding a “donation only” concert Sunday, November 20, to help raise the necessary funds for the trip. The concert takes place from 2:00 to 4:00 pm. at the Wilmont Baptist Church at 6440 South Santa Fe. Featured performers include recording artist and songwriter Darla Morgan along with Todd Killingsworth and Billy and the Boys. Media is encouraged to promote and attend the event.
