Creative Educator Will Keynote Student Citizen Event

Chamber Will Honor  33 Students

      Scholarship, Citizenship, and Community Involvement will be the theme on Tuesday, April 24th, when the Chamber hosts its annual “Student Citizen Breakfast” at the Midwest Hotel and Conference Center on Sinclair Rd.  The Chamber and member business sponsors will host thirty-three Clintonville middle school students and their parents at the event.  Students to be honored will be from Dominion Middle School, Calumet Christian School, Clintonville Academy, Our Lady of Peace School, and Immaculate Conception School.

     Keynote speaker for the event will be

Mimi Brodsky Chenfeld, internationally known educator, author and artist.  Mimi's special love, besides kids, is "creative education" - integrating the arts with every aspect of the curriculum, with an emphasis on movement and writing.  She travels extensively to "be with" teachers, university students, and parents across the country. Mimi is a regular guest on WOSU AM's Open Line program focusing on Creative Education. Inspiring all her work are these favorite words: "All of my children are prodigies." (Yiddish proverb) "The lesson that is not enjoyed is not learned." (Talmud)  . A 3rd edition of her text ''Creative Experiences for Young Children'' was published in 2002 by Heinemann Press.

      This year, in addition to receiving their certificates of achievement from their business sponsors, students will also receive a special medal.   Both student and medal sponsorships are still available, and interested businesses should contact the Chamber office at 262-2790 regarding sponsorship opportunities.

For 2007 the Chamber will honor the following students:

Clintonville Academy:

Madison Durham, Caroline Lieser, Nigel Mathias, Carol Reith, Cloe Benedict, Erica Hegedus.
