Dear Friend of Fiddlehead Scarborough,

On behalf of the Board of Directors, I am writing to share with you recent changes at Fiddlehead Center for the Arts ~ Scarborough.

Mary Jo Marquis, the founder of Fiddlehead Center for the Arts ~ Scarborough, left in November to pursue other interests. We are thankful for the work she has done forming our organization over the past five years.

Susan Morrison, Past President of the Board of Directors, has worked tirelessly with Jennifer Given, our After School Coordinator and Janai Schaefer, our Pre-School Teacher, over the last two months to make the transition a smooth one. The Board is very grateful to them and their families for their dedication and commitment to our organization. Together, we started a search for a new Executive Director who would be committed to enriching our community through Fiddlehead Scarborough.

With this, we are pleased to introduce Kris Dorer. Kris joins us with years of experience in the non profit sector. Some of her accomplishments include leading the Maine Chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society as their Executive Director, assisting numerous non profits on a consulting basis, and operating a local business.

As Scarborough residents, she and her husband are very connected with the community and have two daughters in the local school system. Kris is a lover of the arts and an accomplished drummer. She is very excited to join us and carry on the mission of Fiddlehead Scarborough and perhaps add drum lessons to our programming!

In the coming months you'll see exciting changes which will enhance the quality programs you have come to enjoy at Fiddlehead Scarborough. We ask for your continued support in the coming months. Please join us in welcoming Kris to the Fiddlehead Scarborough Family.

Sincerely Yours,

Rob Edgerley President, FCA Scarborough Board of Directors

Fiddlehead Receives Scarborough Nonprofit Business of the Year Award

BIG NEWS!!!

In 2006, the Scarborough Economic Development Corporation (SEDCO) began honoring Scarborough businesses that have made significant contributions to the community in areas of innovation, economic development, and community involvement. Fiddlehead Center for the Arts has been chosen as Scarborough's non-profit business of the year award for 2009!
Thanks to all that have supported our efforts to create a community arts & education center that Scarborough can call its own!

 

ART, it isn't JUST about fun!

FLASH FACT: According to a recent study by Stanford University professor Shirley Brice Heath, young people who participate in the arts at least 3 hours, 3 days/week for 1 year are 4 times more likely to be recognized for academic achievement and 3 times more likely to be elected to class office within their schools.

In times of diminishing budgets for schools and parents alike, the value of the arts is often pulled into question. Those who have keep up on the research and stayed on top of the trends know what schools that are sacrificing art in lieu of academic programing seemingly have overlooked... namely that art promotes academic growth along with developing creative and critical thinking skills.

On behalf of our Board of Directors and myself we thank you for the arms of support you have extended to us these past four years as we have created a community arts & education center that Scarborough can call its own...and the journey continues!

Cheers!

Mary Jo Marquis
