CCE LUNCHEON POURED WITH CREATIVITY
03/10/2011 - By Palm Beach, Fl

CCE LUNCHEON POURED WITH CREATIVITY

A little rain didn’t stop the Center for Creative Education (CCE) from entertaining more than 250 guests at the annual Spring Luncheon.

On March 10 when the clouds parted, guests were treated to an afternoon of lunch, art and dessert at the home of CCE’s honorary chairman, Kenn Karakul.
The sun really came out as a tiny but powerful speaker, 10-year-old Shilah James from Wynnebrook Elementary School spoke to Luncheon guests about what she has learned through CCE in her after-school programming. As she related some of the creative writing vocabulary words she learned to protagonists and antagonists in the Cat and the Hat, her mother praised CCE and the way they were creatively opening her daughter’s mind to a new passion as a writer!
In welcoming the crowd, Kenn Karakul likened the afternoon’s weather to the stormy education system. “Just like the sun coming out today, CCE is such a bright spot in the lives of so many Palm Beach County students. The work we are doing in arts integration is so important. Students like Shilah are finding new passions thanks to our artists.”
The not-for-profit Center for Creative Education uses the arts to enrich and transform children’s educational experience. The arts are infused into classroom curriculum and after-school settings to enhance the teaching of traditional academic subjects – improving each child’s learning potential and academic performance, increasing overall enthusiasm about school and shaping more productive, responsible community members that exercise creative problem solving throughout life. CCE’s newest program, Project GROW focuses on teaching students artful and hands-on ways to have a positive and healthy body and mind.
For information on the Center for Creative Education programming or upcoming events including Little Pink Dress “Ultimate Girls Night Out” to Benefit the Center for Creative Education on May 3rd, please call (561) 805-9927, or visit www.cceflorida.org.
