Lake Fenton Middle School, Fenton, MI — January 13, 2020
The Lake Fenton Community Schools Board of Education met Monday evening, January 13, for their first scheduled monthly meeting of the new year. Prior to the start of agenda items, the board hosted a number of special presentations.
The Fenton Arts Council presented decorated hand made drums, with real drum heads, to the Lake Fenton District. The first of several similar events scheduled for area elementary schools at their districts’ next board meetings. During Fenton’s “Arts Are The Heart” events and additional sessions at schools over the past 2 years, children and parents have decorated the drums in 3 artistic mediums: painting, collage, and mosaic. A total of 27 drums are set to be given out over the next few weeks.
The project was made possible through generous grants from the Hagarman Foundation, the Greater Flint Arts Council Share Art Genesee Grant Program made possible by the Genesee County Arts Education and Cultural Enrichment millage Funds – Your tax dollars at work!, local sponsorship partners and many, many Volunteers!
