WEATHER UPPDATE Information:

Since I'm not sure how bad the weather will be Friday, Michael and I decided to reschedule his visit for Feb 1st.

Keep an eye out for class schedule delays or changes. Rena should send out an email if KCA decides to close Friday. There should be news among your friends on FB as well. 


Okay guys, Listen up!

We have an artist/photographer stopping in for a visit this week! Yeah!  Michael Alvis will be with us this Friday, January 25th to share his love of photography in his own artistic way! I have given him complete control over you so be prepared for anything can happen! :) Michael has been the Art Instructor at Carson Newman College the past several years, has a wealth of knowledge, loads of experience and knows how to turn photography into a a great adventure! Soooo be ready for a great time and a bit of change from the regular stuff.

See you then!!
