    Thank you Aminé!

    Aminé's "Best Day Ever" Music Festival truly was, for some KBPS students! Some KBPS students met Aminé in person backstage at his concert at Edgefield.  Aminé and his team were able to welcome three current seniors and three recent graduates to meet him, do an interview with him for KBPS, and sign their shoes before performing at his music festival. The interview will be broadcast on KBPS soon, stay tuned for dates and times. We are so thankful and grateful to Aminé for all he is doing to uplift our students and community, including his latest work and partnerships with a local Multnomah County Libraries to increase literacy for students. Aminé is KBPS c/o 2012, and has became a huge music artist, recently launched the Benson Tech shoe collaboration with New Balance, and donated $25,000 to KBPS for student scholarships.
