Thursday, June 28th, 26 students from all over Missouri were at Developmental Center of the Ozarks for a community service day.
The students attended the state funded Missouri Fine Arts Academy held at SMSU for 3 weeks during the summer. The objective is for students to realize there is more to the arts than just playing an instrument or painting a picture. Music, drama, art, and dance students performed therapeutic programming to individuals with developmental disabilities from DCO throughout the day.
Station's were set up with different activities for children and adults, such as modern dance, musical instruments, wall murals, etc. Individuals with developmental disabilities interacted with talented high school students. We enjoy being a MO Fine Arts site each year.
