"Art Trunk" @ CWA



THRIVE at CWA –Cayce Learning Center took full advantage of “Art Trunk”, sponsored by The Frist Center for the Visual Arts. Art Trunk is a mobile art program that looks to stimulate and increase art and artist awareness in partnering community programs. Students begin the curriculum with a pre-test designed to survey their Greek art knowledge.
After an instructional overview by teachers, the kids used clay medium and plastic scalpels to create original artistic pieces inspired by this years “Hero’s” theme. Whenever “Art Trunk” comes around for artistic enlightenment, THRIVE will be waiting with young minds seeking illumination.

Martha O'Bryan Center Presents: "Family Reading Night"




For the second time this program year, THRIVE families were treated to “Family Reading Night”. Misty Moody, Director of Youth Education, Martha O’Bryan Center, took families to a magical land of literary fun as everyone entered MOB’s transformed gymnasium. Queens, Knights, and scattered musical acts showcased this semester’s theme. Participants made family crest, enjoyed a variety of games, and were privy to storytelling by supportive volunteers. Eating and camaraderie topped off an enlightening evening and children grabbed arms full of complimentary storybooks as they said their goodbyes. Reading was definitely Fun as April 6, 2010 brought a night of family advocacy to the THRIVE After school Program.
