FRANK SINATRA HIGH SCHOOL

Queens, New York
Masonry Contractor: Navillus Construction Co.

A Letter from Mr. Tony Bennett :

For a number of years the idea of creating a school of the Arts has been important to me. My interest was sparked by an experience I had with a public school in Chicago, some time ago, where I saw the following things: art an abandoned vest-pocket park was taken over by a school: the park was cleared, mural were painted and the kids put on performances for the community. This showed me how powerfully the arts could be used for a community’s well-being.

The school I envision would stress community service, just like Chicago, where the kids could practice their craft. I would like students to know at the onset that fame and celebrity are not the true goals of the arts. The true artist is at the service of a rigorous arts and academic program…and his craft.

I also see a school where artists and entertainers themselves are intimately involved with the school. Toward this end, I have asked a number of prominent businessmen and performers to support and work with the school (i.e. Harry Belafonte, Wynton Marsalis, and Eli Wallach, to name a few). These performers could be involved in a number of ways, including mentoring, giving master classes and if need be, co-teaching a class.

Through the years, beginning with his Academy Award winning performance in The House I Live In, it was always Frank Sinatra’s desire to help children receive a quality education involving the arts. I can think of no better way to remember, celebrate and honor my best friend and colleague, the great performer and entertainer, Frank Sinatra, than to create a wonderful, vibrant school in his name.


Sincerely,

Tony Bennett

7 WORLD TRADE CENTER

Downtown Manhattan
Masonry Contractor: Rad & D'aprile, Inc.

NYC’s first LEED Certified office tower. Designed by Skidmore, Owings, & Merrill, 7 WTC is the first certified "green" office building to be constructed in New York City.

Among many building enhancements, 7 WTC has a reinforced concrete core and a steel superstructure. Safety systems exceed the city's building code and Port Authority requirements, and are expected to form the basis for future high-rise building codes. God Bless those that perished on September 11th, 2001, as well as all of the rescue and recovery workers, including the many construction workers that assisted with the rescue and relief efforts.
