“Smoking doesn’t work
in Oregon.”
I remember walking out of our conference room and
my eyes were literally stinging. My boss smoked, so
everybody felt they had a right to light up whenever
they felt like it. That was before the Oregon Smokefree
Workplace Law.
Because now smoking doesn't work in Oregon. And
I’m breathing a lot easier.

The p erfo rm an ces w ere
made possible by Ethos, Inc. of
Portland, a program committed to
bringing music education back to
underserved Portland youth and
is now ready to expand serv ices
around Oregon. Working directly
with students and communities
throughout Oregon, Ethos hopes
to in tro d u ce a w hole new
generation of youth to music.
In the past couple of years.
Ethos has taught m usic to
thousands o f students. Through
various programs, they have seen
“ how m usic can em pow er
c h ild ren , schools, and even
com m unities. Not only does
music give students and teachers
a sense o f accomplishment, but it
also teaches discipline and has
been proven to incise mental
capacity. A 1995 study by the
C o llege B oard show ed that
students with a background in
music scored 103 points higher on
their SATs than students without
a background in music," said an
Ethos press release.
