Thanks to foundation funding, Morning Sky students will learn photography, music and art — areas that increase student self-esteem. Student work will culminate in a Fine Arts Exposition that will include a musical performance, and a display of art and photography. “Because our boys are on campus 24 hours a day, seven days a week, Morning Sky must meet all of their needs, and that includes Daniel Fiddler opportunities for self-expression as well as constructive ways to use their free time,” said Director Tony Applegarth. “Photography, music and art are perfect outlets for our students. Because of this grant, we can offer them more in the way of instruction, equipment and supplies. This is an important area for our boys and we are very grateful for this support.” Applegarth also said Morning Sky will approach local institutions such as Riverside Community College and UC Riverside, for example, to invite guest artists, photography instructors and musicians. Morning Sky, a residential school for seriously emotionally disturbed boys ages 9 to 18 in Mountain Center, opened in 1979 … Ben Killingsworth, former columnist for the Town Crier, is now writing a column called “Senior moments” for the syndicate North Star Writers Group out of Michigan.
