CBRYC TAKES HOME RIBBONS FROM ARTS FESTIVAL

7. April 2011 by admin.

At times, working at CBR YouthConnect you get to a point where you think you could not be more proud of “Our Boys” and then you experience just one more thing that makes you so proud to be affiliated with such wonderful and talented young men that it brings tears to your eyes. Once again it has happened. The boys in the Art’s and Craft’s class participated in the 55th Annual Otero Art’s Festival. With over 2,000 participants this year, representing 27 schools, CBRYC had a number of submissions from 14 boys, with 11 of those entries earning ribbons! This represents 30% of all the children at CBRYC. Once again I say gosh, I just couldn’t be more proud of “Our Boys!” We must congratulate all of the boys and also the staff who poured their hearts and dedication into completing the projects and getting them ready for submission into the Art Show. Marianne Hale and Corky McKenzie along with the help of Debbie Henderson and many unit staff helped in making this Arts Festival another memorable occasion! We must celebrate the milestones in the lives of these boys. It takes something different from a teacher - it requires a connection to the student. When our boys find that something inside that comes alive with the Arts, we once again have changed a life forever.
