FAC Weekly Update
January 24, 2020
Good afternoon, Fine Arts Center Family
I hope that you had a wonderful week. We have a big weekend ahead, as we are wrapping up auditions for our prospective new students AND hosting the first annual FAC SnowBall!
Congratulations to the students of the Chamber Strings studio for their wonderful concert performance last night! Be sure to keep an eye on the UPCOMING EVENTS section of the Weekly Update, and please spread the word far and wide about our student performances.
Here is the latest from the halls of the Fine Arts Center...
This Week's Student Leadership Lesson
“Don’t focus on the past, and don’t look to the future…Focus on the NOW. Success, rewards, accolades, fame, and fortune are merely by-products for those who are able to seize the moment – not those who look beyond it.”
- Jon Gordon and Daniel Decker, STAY POSITIVE, page 16
