Johns Creek Foundation gives money to school for new media equipment.
The Johns Creek Foundation Board of Directors recently approved a grant application to Autrey Mill Middle School PTA for the school's fledgling video journalism program. The school's program is an often-requested class by students and has begun to fill to capacity. The idea of the program began when Amy Creamer, Autrey Mill Middle School drama teacher, took over the morning news show.

The Johns Creek Foundation recently awarded the Johns Creek Arts Center $7,200 for senior outreach art programs. This grant will afford the Johns Creek Arts Center the opportunity to provide free art enrichment to seniors through quality art workshops that include ceramics, silk painting, mosaic and more to local senior assisted living centers and active adult communities. The centers are typically unable to afford these specialized art workshops, so this grant is an opportunity to provide their members with exposure to art, which is proven to be a great stress reducer with therapeutic benefits. The Johns Creek Arts Center has been well received at centers and has also offered workshops on-site in its clay studio. The last ceramic workshop…
