All aboard the art bus!
PAINESVILLE, Ohio — At a time when budget constraints are putting the squeeze on some school programming, one mom is hitting the gas and traveling from town-to-town to make sure the most vulnerable children in our community don't fall through the cracks.But as funding for those"extras" during the school day dries up, as some deem it not crucial, Cathi Mezzopera is doing what she can to make sure children get the chance to tap into their creativity.
Mezzopera's"A Kid at Art for the Heart" studio on wheels hosts eight-week art programs for underserved students, mainly in Head Start programs in Lake and Geauga counties.Laura Hopkins with Leake Geauga Head Start said that due to budget constraints, this is a program they wouldn't be able to do on their own.
With supplies and gas among the biggest expenses, Mezzopera relies on grants to keep the art bus rolling.
