The 25th Annual Bob Novack Music Awards were presented to two amazing student musicians on June 8, 2022. The Awards are sponsored and presented by non-profit 1308 Productions.

“These awards create so much inspiration amongst the students all year long,” said Ruth K. Broad K-8 music lead educator Onil Rodriguez. "All of our students are aware of 1308 Productions' great support of our program," he said. "They positively boost our students in so many ways.”

1308 Productions was created by Jason Novack and Allison Novack to support music education, music scholarship awards, and live performances. Both Jason and Allison are graduates of the school. "We are so grateful to the Novack family for their long-term commitment to supporting our music program," said Rodriguez.

The 2022 award winners are Isabella S. Sanchez and Sydney L. Parker. Each drew enthusiastic applause from the packed house at the auditorium of Miami Beach Senior High School where Ruth K. Broad K-8 held their graduation and awards ceremony. Both Isabella and Sydney were presented with a trophy, documentation on their award, and a scholarship check for $200 to help further their interest in music.
