Design & Marketing Firm “Gives Back” to the community
Archimedia Studios, a leading Atlanta based design and marketing firm servicing the country music and film industries recently initiated a “Give Back” program, in order to help promote the media arts in schools that would otherwise be unable to afford them.
In addition to a number of southern schools that were chosen to participate in the Archimedia Give Back program, The Schoolhouse Learning Center, located at Dorset Farms in South Burlington, was chosen to receive $15,000 to further the development of its website and promote the mission of the school.
The main criteria for school selection for the program is for the school to truly live its mission. Vince Spagnolo, President of Archimedia Studios, recently had the opportunity to visit The Schoolhouse, and was delighted with what he saw. He noticed that the joy students find in learning was evident from the moment he walked into the building. He was impressed by the faculty and members of the Board of Directors, who all clearly live the mission of the school. Schoolhouse dedicates itself to being student-centered, family orientated, and open to all forms of diversity. The five-year vision of the school includes promoting, Science, Math, Technology and Sustainability.
With the new website, Schoolhouse families will be even more connected to the school. They will be able to see their children’s work, read their daily blogs and much more. Students will be able to enhance their skills in the media arts through “short courses” in media arts. Through Archimedia Studios, The Schoolhouse Learning Center will also have a promotional film to use on its website and in the community.
Spagnolo observed, “when students are in a warm and inviting environment and are so happy and attentive, their likelihood of becoming lifelong learners and good citizens of the world increases tremendously. There’s no better investment than that.”
