Successful completion of the LCB grant for 2008-09
We have received word from the Arts Council of Chautauqua County that our instructional programs have been successfully awarded a grant in the amount of $1, 119.00 to support the development and production of a puppet show at our Hewes Center by Das Puppinspiel.
I am now awaiting my contact with Kevin Kuhlman, of Das Puppinspiel, who will plan with the teachers and I for the best time for this production work to be unvieled this school year. As we did last year, we shall invite as many teachers, parents and members of the public to participate in the final stage show.
Thank you to Dru Cole, Valerie Deleon, Laurie Wilcox, Jamie Monaco and Amy Stormer for helping write this grant. and to Jim Hedlund and Rose Dorey, high school teachers, who underwrote/endorsed the continuation of this program from last year.
It is my hope that we can have funds set aside by our division next year that will support the ARTS in Education programs next year at our Center.
