Elginavia “Daie” Garrett `10 and Teacher John LePelley attended an ArtWorks event January 11 also attended by members of the Ohio State University Board and Faculty and Governor Ted Strickland. Mr. LePelley reported that Daie, whose corporate work placement is at St. Vincent Charity Hospital, was introduced to Governor Strickland as “the best dancer in the program” and the Governor spent most of his time engaged with students speaking directly with Daie.
ArtWorks is an arts-based summer job training program which helps student “apprentices” develop their skills while working with professional mentors. Daie’s experience this past summer helped confirm for her that she had the interest and the ability to pursue dance as a career. She is now applying to dance programs as she approaches her final semester at Saint Martin.
