Jamestown Public School Board Honors Joshua Stafford

     Joshua Stafford was honored on Thursday March 30th, 2006 for his many accomplishments and role as a leader in the school and community.  Josh has just been accepted to the Curtis Institute of Music with a Full Scholarship.  The Curtis Institute is arguably one of the most selective music schools in the world, with only 165 students studying with 92 Faculty members.  This event is rare for our community and a reflection of the best our youth have to offer.
     Josh is currently the President of A Cappella and has been the musical accompanist for the choir since his freshman year.  He is also the Organist for at least two local churches and has been performing on the Saturday Morning Breakfast Club on radio station WJTN for years.  However, those who know Josh will agree that his greatest asset is his character!  Josh lives in Jamestown with his parents, Kevin and Lori Stafford.
