COMMUNITY ARTS PROGRAM OF NEW BRAUNFELS
MISSION STATEMENT
The Community Arts Program meets on Tuesdays after school September-May at St John’s. We offer primarily at-risk students from nearby Carl Schurz Elementary professional-quality music lessons on their choice of keyboard and string instruments, as well as in art. Our 2-hour sessions include time for a snack, games and socializing. Students especially enjoy games and conversations with our adult sponsors. Our mission is to empower young people by helping develop their abilities of perception, memory, dexterity and social skills, as well as self-confidence. We aim to support the students’ education and growing maturity through the measured challenges of new music and art projects. We celebrate their achievements with a recital and art show at the end of the school year; families are invited of course.
Contact Information
St John’s members are encouraged to volunteer as sponsors to help with the Tuesday afternoon sessions or to provide snacks. Contact Bill Norvell, at 713-5506836, or email: williamnorvell1943@gmail.com.

Reinforcing our Commitment
Our mission is to empower elementary age at-risk students to successfully develop their musical potential, to be persistent in the pursuit of their education and to strengthen their communities.
History
Where we started
In January of 2014 this program was started as an outreach ministry of St. John’s Episcopal Church with 8 students. It has evolved into an independent non-profit program for at-risk students serving 21 children.
Scientific studies have proven that the discipline of music lessons help and spark academic performance and social skills. Extra encouragement and praise help every child in the program.
"Music is the movement of sound to reach the soul for the education of its virtue."
