ALTA Foundation Announces 2009 I Believe in Myself Award The I Believe in Myself Award is a scholarship opportunity for students who are receiving academic language therapy from an ALTA member. Students who have an interest in art and are in third grade and up submit an essay explaining why art is important in their life.  The ALTA Foundation is proud to announce that Ethan Kohnle was awarded the third annual Joan Hogge I Believe in Myself Award. Ethan is twelve years old and attends Southwest Academy in Allen, Texas. His mother and the school’s director, Beverly Dooley supported Ethan as he accepted the award at the ALTA Conference on April 18, 2009. His therapist, Peggy Brooks reports that Ethan had been interested in art for many years. “He enjoys drawing keywords for all of the affixes. He has a happy disposition and is reading on grade level after intense intervention in a multisensory structured language education program”. Ethan said, “I enjoy working with clay. Seeing my pottery coming out of the kiln is very exciting.” We look forward to displaying Ethan’s art at the ALTA Foundation exhibit booth during the 2010 ALTA Conference. |
