Jamie Foxx And Quvenzhane Wallis Take "Annie" To Minnesota For School Visit

Jamie Foxx and Quvenzhane Wallis made a surprise visit to Northport Elementary school on Wednesday afternoon in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota.  




Foxx, 46, and Wallis, 11, were accompanied by their "Annie" director Will Gluck for the fun visit.


The visit began Turnaround Arts, a signature program of the President's Committee on the Arts and the Humanities which collaborates with local program partners to offer demanding arts education resources to groups of high-poverty schools across the country, resulting in expansion in attendance, academic success and student engagement.

Fox was quoted as saying: "Arts education is a way to make a real difference in the lives of kids everywhere. Being involved with the arts certainly changed my life, and I've seen that engagement change the lives of many others."


Wallis claimed: "I was excited to visit the school today. We had so much fun and I'm glad that they are preparing for their own production of Annie. Every Annie can be different, which is one of the reasons why it is so great to be a part of."
