A "Lil Positivity": Lexus Keys To Innovation

Posted by Bossip Staff

Thomas Jefferson High School in L.A., was rewarded for environmental achievements from Lexus and received a special shout out from Alicia Keys:

Last Thursday, April 2nd , Los Angeles’ Thomas Jefferson High School was awarded for their environmental achievements by luxury automaker Lexus and Alicia Keys, through the Lexus Keys to Innovation program. The “Lexus Keys to Innovation” program is a unique way for Lexus and Alicia Keys to recognize and reward students who have successfully implemented innovative environmental programs in their schools and communities.

Through “Lexus Keys to Innovation,” Lexus and Alicia Keys presented ten inner city schools across the country with a $2,000 donation to support existing environmental programs. Thomas Jefferson High School’s “action plan” proposed that the $10,000 Grand Prize be used to create a native “green” space on campus for the students and faculty to utilize as an interactive educational tool. Lexus’ vice president of marketing, Dave Nordstrom, presented the Grand Prize as well as commemorative, native Californian sapling to plant in the “green” space.  As an added “thank you” to the students of Thomas Jefferson, Alicia Keys has videotaped a special message that will be played at the assembly.

Good looking out kids.

A special message from A. Keys.
