Delta House Receives Grant for Supplies and Exhibits

Delta House’s Boosting Our Outstanding Students to the Top (BOOST) recently received a grant of $2,500 from The Ethical Society of Asheville. The grant funds will be used for Delta House’s BOOST Afterschool students in grades 6-8. The students will have opportunities to participate in the arts with classes that integrate music, technology, and visual arts, and that will be aligned with the NC Standard Course of Study.

In the visual arts classes, students will participate in painting, sculpture, printmaking, crafts, and technology. Delta House will be able to purchase art supplies and give students opportunities to exhibit their art work and perform. All the classes will be free for Delta House’s BOOST students. The classes will be held during their afterschool program.
