About Us

I am so excited and thrilled to continue this journey with each of you! I had been following Sunfish
and its endeavors for some time, so when I read that it would not be here for you all anymore I
thought, this cannot be. And the thought never quite left my head. I have a four year old daughter
who is extremely expressive with an overactive imagination, and couldn’t bear the thought of an
educational arts program for her age group ceasing to exist in the Memphis area. There are just not
enough to go around for her age, not to mention at the elementary level. I do believe we have schools
in Memphis that are gifted with talented teachers to bring the arts into the classroom, and for this
they are loved, but I also know time is of the essence in these formative years. I believe that the arts
are necessary for teaching children essential life skills they will be able to use for a lifetime of
creative, imaginative, and transformative ways of thinking, not to mention using problem solving
and interesting new ways of communicating with peers to tell a story or create a piece of art that is
truly their own. I look forward to partnering with each of you during this exciting time and wish you
all nothing but the best and most memorable of summers! Please do not forget to check our website
for updates on the fall semester later this month, including Drama Days, packed with more
excitement than ever before! I will be reaching out to your schools over the next few weeks for
scheduling. Welcome aboard!
