Art show at Mt. Bethel raises $1200 for Porter Academy

What an amazing night!  The Porter Academy Art show and sale opened with a flurry of excitement over the young student’s art pieces.  Parents, grandparents, Porter Academy Staff and Mt Bethel members enjoyed refreshments as they viewed the gallery in the B hall.

Barbara Ramer, principal of Porter Academy, was very grateful to Mt Bethel for hosting their first art show and sale that benefited the Matthew C. Roberts scholarship fund.  “The art looks great, and the children are so proud to see their pieces displayed,” stated Ramer.  To date, the art show has raised $1200 dollars for the scholarship fund.

The show generated a lot of excitement and a greater awareness of Mt Bethel’s Special Needs Ministry, while spotlighting a great school that provides a wonderfully supportive learning environment, Porter Academy.  What a blessing to work with the staff at Porter, and to have the opportunity to meet some of the artists and their families at the gallery opening.  I am grateful that God got us altogether for this wonderful event.

Note cards of the children prints will be available in the bookstore until the end of May.   You may special order prints of the children’s art until the end of May by contacting me.

Thanks to everyone who made this show and sale possible!

Rev. Kim McGarr
