Good afternoon Visual Arts students, parents and supporters! Read one for updates and reminders as we head into April.

The PTSA's Summer Scholarship application is now open. 9th-11th grade students can get up to $500 toward a summer academic, performing or visual arts intensive or enrichment. Visit the PTSA Membership Toolkit for details on the scholarship and to read testimonials from previous recipients.

Students, be sure you check the online call board for crew opportunities through May including Dear Asian Youth, City of Dallas, and the Youth Empowerment Festival.

The Communities Foundation of Texas (CFT) Giana Foundation scholarship provides one-year scholarships of up to $5,000 to current graduating high school seniors of a public high school in Dallas, Collin or Denton counties who intend to pursue a degree in the Visual and/or Performing Arts. Apply before April 1 on the CFT website.

As you may know, I Am Booker T Day is Saturday, April 12. It is our first opportunity to welcome new students and families to Booker T. THANK YOU to everyone who has signed up to volunteer.

If you would like to support the event but don't want to commit to a volunteer shift, consider dropping by the school from 9:30-11 a.m. for the Visual Arts Conservatory breakout session. We'll be in the Commons with the Visual Arts faculty, guild officers and volunteers, and current students, and we welcome any current parents and students who would like to be on campus to talk with families, answer questions, and provide general hospitality. No commitment or donation required - just a friendly face. 

Visual Arts Conservatory and guild events are marked with *. Visit the school calendar for details on schoolwide events.
