Academics & the Arts 2011

Hands-on art fun as part of Academics & the Arts activities

Each spring TLC! celebrates all things related to academics and the arts in a two day event held on campus.  This event, aptly called Academics & the Arts was held May 5th and 6th and included an art show,  hands-on art, lunch time hand-bell concert from the Valley River Ringers, chorus concert at the Henn Theater, grades 2-5 writing contest and a Cherokee County Middle School writing contest.

In today’s tough economy, art programs are often the first to be cut from school budgets.  Not true at The Learning Center.  TLC! Board of Directors and school Director Mary Jo Dyre are committed to maintaining all forms of art from musical, visual, culinary and performing arts at our school.  Our community benefits.  Our school benefits.  And, without a doubt, TLC! students benefit from this commitment.

Hurray for another successful Academics & the Arts!
