CONGRATULATING CALHOUN ACADEMY FOR THE ARTS FOR RECEIVING THE HIGHLY PRIZED RED CARPET AWARD.
Whereas, Calhoun Academy for the Arts in Anderson School District 5 was one of only sixty-six South Carolina Schools to receive the highly prized Red Carpet Award, recognizing their success at creating family-friendly school environments and providing excellent customer service; and
Whereas, the Red Carpet Schools initiative was one of only two programs in the nation to receive a Distinguished Single Project Award from the National School Public Relations Association; and
Whereas, schools were judged on a variety of factors, including the exterior and interior of the campus, the way people were treated in person and over the telephone, and the information on programs available for families and visitors. Winning schools receive red carpets with the state seal to display in their lobbies, and they maintain their recognition status for a three year period; and
Whereas, Calhoun Academy for the Arts' mission is to create a collaborative school community that challenges all children to learn, to excel, and to be responsible citizens by utilizing successful teaching strategies that integrate the arts through various resources, including families and community, in a positive learning environment. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate:
That the members of the South Carolina Senate, by this resolution, congratulate Calhoun Academy for the Arts for receiving the highly prized Red Carpet Award.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to Calhoun Academy for the Arts.
