"Even though it is only spring break I can feel summer in the air. And with that feeling I always feel the excitement of Arts Academy. I have been coming to Arts Academy every year since 2003 when I was entering 1st grade. I’ve also been in drama since 2006. It has always been a wonderful escape for me to just let my artistic juices flow. Since during the school year there isn't much time to do much art. I know almost all of the people, the art, and the great feeling of being in a place you love. So if I couldn't get the opportunity to come back this year and be with all of part of it all I would feel most bleak.  I could contribute many things to the program: helping out, add to the wonderful atmosphere, and mostly show kids such a wonderful time that they want to come back, like every person on the staff has always done to me."
