Academy of Scholastic Achievement (ASA) a campus of Youth Connection Charter School held a free block party for the community and they honored their alumna, Shawntae Harris, also known as Da Brat, by announcing that they will be providing a scholarship in her name to students who desire to pursue a career in the arts.
