Lovin' me some Fall Feel from the Kuss Kids!
Well, we have made it to another Thanksgiving together!
Hoping and wishing for all of the best for you and yours. Of course, I am going to take this opportunity to let you know that I am super thankful that I get the chance to work with you all... We have a pretty tough at times/pretty awesome job, and Our Kids love the art and music you bring to them every day. For that joy you bring, I am grateful!
In the news this week, I would like to share that the Barr Grant writing work done at Durfee to plan for an arts infused school within a school has moved on to the next level with the Barr Foundation! We will be meeting with the team from Mass IDEAS in December! I will keep you posted, and keep your fingers crossed!
In addition, I would like to share that the Michael Troy Memorial Concert was a huge success at the Narrows Center for the Arts this past weekend! Gary Bigelow, Mary Zema, Matt and Izzy Desmarais all performed! What an amazing show and tribute to Michael. Proceeds from this event will support the Durfee Music Program!
Here are a list of things to plan for when we return from break!
Planning Ahead:
