Jane Lynch has revved up her megaphone to tout the benefits of arts education is schools, starring in a public service announcement that debut tonight on the Fox Network’s “GLEE” program. It’s the centerpiece of Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment’s campaign to donate $1 million to arts education around the country and Lynch is the featured spokesperson as the harsh and witty cheer coach, Sue Sylvester. Beyond “GLEE,” the PSA is expected to air on television and cable stations across the country.

I love the name of the campaign, “GLEE Give a Note,” which will donate $1 million to school arts programs across the country. Eligible high schools are invited to submit videos about why their school deserves a grant at www.GleeGiveANote.com. In December 2011, after two rounds of voting, Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment will name the 73 schools that will receive grants ranging from $10,000 to $50,000.
