Who: Every Member of the Parkway Community (parents, students, future students, all community stakeholders) What: Community Meeting regarding School Waiver When: Monday, January 30, 2012 at 5pm Where: Parkway Middle School of the Arts Auditorium
Through the generosity of Ayden and Luke Marshall, the Parkway School of the Arts Program is $598 richer. Ayden and Luke are my grandsons. Their birthday was January 20th. Their mother, seeing how much the boys receive at their party, suggested to them that perhaps they didn’t need so much and that it might be a nice idea to ask for donations to their grandmother’s school. The boys did not hesitate and could hardly wait to call and tell me that they were asking their friends to donate money to our arts program instead of buying them presents. I really wish I had the words to express my love for their generous spirit – and their mother’s. Thank you, Ayden and Luke. And thanks to all of their friends who heeded the call. That money translates into two much needed flutes for students in our program. As my mother always said, “The Lord doesn’t sleep!” Oh, yes. Ayden and Luke are just six years old! Auditions for placement in the Performing and Visual Arts Magnet Program for the 2012-2013 school year is now taking place. Students must have completed an application (www.browardcountymagnetprograms.com) and have a 3, 4, or 5 in reading and math on the FCAT. Once we have access to the application and have determined the academic eligibility, we will call for an audition. Students wanting to enter band, piano/keyboard, or strings orchestra do not have to audition. Please feel free to call our office at 754-322-4060 if you have any questions. Our Open House is Monday, January 30th at 6:30pm It’s going to be an exciting year as we are “Creating One Star At A Time!” Science, Technology, Engineering and Math Magnet Program will be having their OPEN HOUSE January 30th.
