CMS students and teachers highlighted in national news

National NBC crews have been all over Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools the past two weeks, filming segments for 'Education Nation', a week-long look at public education in America.

Tryon Hills Pre-K Center was the setting for NBC's look into the importance of early education. The crew observed two classes, then spoke with teachers and students about how having a Pre-K foundation can support a child's education.

This past week, an NBC crew got a first-hand look into the life of fourth-grade Sterling Elementary student Jevón Dixon. While at Sterling, NBC interviewed some of the outstanding teachers who are making a difference in the lives of students. Sterling has been noted as an excellent example of a Turnaround School and recently hosted a round table discussion with Secretary of Education Arne Duncan.

NBC's day at Sterling will be featured Sunday, Sept. 26 on the Today Show from 8-9 a.m., during NBC's Town Hall meeting on MSNBC cable channel 50 at noon, and on NBC Nightly News at 6:30 p.m. Tryon Hills' students and teachers make their debut later in the week. At the time of this email, NBC was unable to confirm specific dates and times.

Kanye’s Amsterdam Revival

Now THIS was worth sharing...

“So I don’t listen to the suits behind the desk no more…You can’t say s#@t to Kanye West no more, I just rocked Amsterdam when I was out on tour.”

Emerging from the depths of 2004, here’s a video of Kanye’s full set at an Amsterdam show. This is pure ‘Ye the musician, with neither the elaborate props and lighting nor outlandish antics that often make themselves hindrances. Throughout, he’s accompanied by John Legend on the keys and Dame playing the supporting role, along with brief guest spots from GLC and Miri Ben-Ari. Clocking in at seventy minutes long and worth the time spent watching it because the performance exposes the raw, more intimate performance side of Mr. West and his music, the parts that are often forgotten or overlooked.

RED ALERT...SONGS FROM THE "HAZARDOUS MATERIAL" ALBUM LEAK!!

Hopefully we got your attention with the post title lol! 

WAXWUN Productions has decided to "leak" aka give an advance release to five additional tracks from the upcoming debut album, "Hazardous Material" by WAXWUN's own Sinful & Flaymz. Select individuals have been given the opportunity to listen to the album in it's entirety and it's gotten an amazing response! So we think you'll be pleased with these five additional releases. Five tracks were already available for your downloading and/or listening enjoyment on the duo's 'My Band' tab @ www.waxwun.com or in the music player on the duo's Reverbnation profile. The tracks were "Go," "Money," "Be'd Not Do It," "Streets of Charlotte Remix," and "Dope Boy Muzik."


How do I access the new tracks?

While the previous tracks are both streaming and available for download to anyone, the new tracks will only be available for download to those who join the mailing list on our profile. The media players that we'll share on our Facebook walls and on Reverbnation will prompt you for your email address after the first 30 seconds of the song. Put in your email address, check your email account, confirm the address then download the track. If, however, you want to hear the full version of the track before opting to join the mailing list and download the track, simply go to the 'My Band' tab on our Facebook page. Here, you can listen to the full version, without interruption, and will only need to put in your email address if you click on 'download.'

Over the next few weeks, we'll be releasing these exclusive tracks as well as posting and sharing other music and videos from our portfolio. So stay tuned! Material can be accessed at the above referenced links or, if you're already on our blog site, use the media player at the top. First up, "Check My Resume," which has been heard by those who've attended the duos recent performances. So for you guys, here's your chance to hear the album version.

As always, we welcome your feedback, both positive and constructive. Feel free to post on our Facebook wall, myspace profile, email us, or if you're friends with any of our staff members on Facebook, hit up their inbox with your thoughts!
