Giving Tuesday: Fantastic Ways to Show Your Love for Étude

Tomorrow, December 1st, is a day that has become widely known as *Giving Tuesday*[http://www.givingtuesday.org/about/], a term coined by the 92nd Street Y in New York City in 2012. Falling in line after Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, and Cyber Monday, Giving Tuesday is a day dedicated to giving to charities and causes you care about. Now, you can include The Étude Group of Schools in your #GivingTuesday plans through the Étude Sessions.

Please consider supporting the Etude Group on #GivingTuesday. #EnduringEducation #GoodMusicGoodCause

IDEAS Academy students exhibited and received feedback on their semester-long projects at JMKAC, Jake's Café, a Creative Community, EBCO Stage Works and TYA Theater Factory.   Exhibitions are held twice a year and are open to the public.  Students host round table discussions, gallery walks, and present music, dance and theater performances.
