A Lesson on Leadership
- Sometimes leadership isn’t about the leader, it’s about the first follower. How movements happen.
The proceeds will also benefit our Keep Arts Alive Gallery for Arts and Education. The gallery will be designed to ensure that Georgia students have access to quality art educational programming. At the gallery, students will have after-school programs in various art forms such as sketching, painting, graphic design, art history, and other visual arts. Programs will be taught by educators and career professionals to give students an insight on the intricacies of the professions. Tutors will be provided for students as well. Due to major budget constraints, many school systems are cutting their art programs. Studies show that students who participate in the arts have great academic standing and higher creative skills. By cutting the arts programs, children are missing out on the opportunity to express themselves. We Care Academy’s Keep Arts Alive Campaign was established to help give those students an outlet to their creativity. As a nonprofit organization We Care Academy focuses on helping our community by providing quality educational and youth development services for Metro Atlanta. With your support and participation We Care Academy will be able to provide a quality academic assistance and arts program for students.

There are “fewer children coming to the nurse’s station with headaches, fewer children having problems concentrating on the work, fewer children falling asleep,”

“The Detroit Public School system hopes to convert dozens of schools into charters in the next year or so in a last-ditch effort to cut costs and stop plummeting enrollment.
The plan faces tremendous skepticism from a generation of parents and teachers frustrated from previous reform efforts.”

“They came out in the ’50s in magazines,” Cohen explains. “And then when the next month’s magazine would come in, people would throw away the old one. And those stories were forgotten. And literally it’s been 60 years for some of these stories and very few people have seen them.”
Children derive enormous benefits from yoga. Physically, it enhances their flexibility, strength, coordination, and body awareness. Also, their concentration and sense of calmness and relaxation improves. Doing yoga, children exercise, play, and develop an intimate relationship with the natural world that surrounds them. Yoga brings that marvelous inner light that all children have to the surface and lets it brightly shine.

“High above the ground in the branches of a cottonwood tree near the town of Pearblossom, there once lived a mother crow and a father crow — or at least the pair aspired to be parents. But a crafty snake, who lived at the bottom of the tree, showed up like clockwork every day with other plans for their eggs.”
“These kids are spending sometimes a few hours a day going through word lists” to learn the most difficult words in English, linguist Ben Zimmer tells NPR’s Renee Montagne. “Very often, they are coming from immigrant families that really prize learning English as part of becoming assimilated into American culture. So, my hat’s off to all of these young spellers.”
