The Myth Of Our Education System (K – 12)

Traditional education practices are discussed and debated by three very highly qualified individuals who, between them, have over 100 years of combined experience in this field.

Clifford Sumrall has been in the education and business field since the late 1960’s. He has taught at the high school and college level, and through the Sumrall Program – 2005-2014, has written “Think on Your Feet, Creating an Environment through Organized Public Speaking”.

Cliff is also the founder of Success Dynamics, a consulting firm to corporations and small companies on communication issues, both written, oral & interpersonal.

Dr. Betty Wells Brown has a PhD in Reading Education and 45 years of teaching experience at the grade school & college level. Betty was just recently voted to serve on the Board of Education in Moore County. Although she is currently a retired professor at UNC – Pembroke, Betty still teaches part time and sees herself, in her new role as a member of the Board of Education, as someone who can give back, mentor and oversee. Her professional experience is exceptional and her resume’s list of accomplishments are numerous and impressive.

Tom Lach is a retired Dean of the College of Arts & Science at UNC – Pembroke. His 32 years of experience in the educational field and his perspective lends a very well rounded voice to their conversation.

Moore County is growing. Our demographics are changing. Our school system has become a very strong focal point and part of the lifeblood of our
community.

The challenges facing our education system from a global and a local perspective are discussed.

Carolina Philharmonic Junior Orchestra Program and Fundraiser

Eight years ago the Carolina Philharmonic set foot in Moore County. The growth process has been all grass roots and organic along the way. Today, the Carolina Philharmonic Junior Orchestra provides a necessary bridge to our students due to cuts in the music arts in our school system.

Long time benefactor and passionate supporter, Betsy Robinson of Area Real Estate Partners & Kathleen Wilford, host these talented and courageous young students and their proactive parents, who together paint a compelling picture of what this program means to today’s students and tomorrow’s students.

April Collins is the teacher and the glue that gives this important program the stability and definition it needs to succeed and expand. 

Without the benefit of any state, local or school funding the Junior Program is solely reliant on individual contributors and supporters. Please hear these children; their parents; their supporters and their gifted teacher April Collins and if you are so moved, your contribution over these next few days will be matched to insure the program can continue to grow.

Please text 843 900-2772 and press #3 to make your donation/investment in the children of Moore County thru this program.

Taylor Dance Company – The Nutcracker – Nov. 25th, 26th, 27th

Artistic Director, Gary Taylor is joined by 5 of his students and cast members of this Thanksgiving Weekend’s production of The Nutcracker at the
Owen’s Auditorium at Sandhills Community College.

As much as The Nutcracker is a seasonal classic, the story of the Taylor Dance Company and what they have created in Moore County is evidenced by these 5 distinctively talented, articulate, focused & beautiful young ladies ranging from the 8th to 12th grade.

Pinecrest Senior – Mary Costanza

O’Neal Junior – Calley McIntyre

Union Pines Junior – Christa Blades

Pinecrest Freshman – Carolyn Mays

Southern Middle 8th grader – Sarah Costanza

Listening to these 5 young ladies and their “coach”, Gary Taylor, gives you a great insight into the excitement that is building up for their show. As importantly, you will hear the spirit of teamwork, sharing, and valuing the friendships and the life long bonds beginning to form.

These are exceptional young ladies, with exceptional parents. We hope you will listen in and attend one of their performances.

The Nutcracker will be presented 3 times over Thanksgiving Weekend.
