The SCPA Receives a very generous Donation to the Jack Tygett Scholarship Fund!
The CVHS Educational Foundation, and our school were presented college scholarship money for SCPA students endowed by Mr. Tygett's friend, Leland "Von" Von Schauer.  Von's cousin, John, the executor of Von's estate, flew in from Chicago to present the check to Jack's widow, Joyce Schumaker (former SCPA Drama teacher ), Gary Chapman (President of the Educational Foundation), and to us. There was a simple ceremony to thank Von's family for this generous scholarship gift at the PAC. The Main Attraction, The Spartan Legion, Dance Force, and a theater student performed. A simple reception of cake and coffee and school tours for our special guests followed.

Last week, Diane Ravitch PhD and former Assistant Secretary of Education had this advice for parents concerned about their students education:
“I think what parents need to do is to go to their schools and say, ‘You know what really matters to me is that my child has adequate time for the arts.  I want my child to come to school, not to be tested, but to play an instrument, to sing in a chorus, to join a band, to paint, to do sculpture, to learn to use the computer to do creative things.’  I think that parents should insist upon all the activities in school that lead to healthy and happy and fulfilled children.”

Congratulations Jocelyn Jimenez! Click the San Diego Museum of Art link below for more info!
