Great Entertainers Jerry Brooks & Mindy Simmons!

Mindy Simmons is a consummate performer. Her quick wit and warm approach charms audiences and puts them in a relaxed frame of mind to sit back and be entertained. She brings a polished, professional show to festival stages, concert halls and other performances venues.
She will be p
racticing with our after school programs for a live performance at our Earth Day Event. 

Learn Born For Greatness by Jana Stanfield and sing along on stage with Mindy and Jerry!  Hear the song on U-Tube or print out the Lyrics here!

Jerry Brooks is a lead vocalist and guitarist for Detroit local R & B bands, Dreams Deferred and D-Tour. Jerry also performs as a solo artist. His current CD is called "Follow your Dreams". His style of music can be described as old school R & B in the tradition of the Motown sound. Jerry presently performs at the Potbelly's restaurant on 12 Mile and Telegraph at lunch time on Tuesday and Wednesday and Thursday.  He will also be performing with our children the day of the event.

  Earth Day Turns 40!

   

Earth Day falls on Thursday, April 22, 2010--and it's the 40th Anniversary of the holiday. It's a great time to learn about our planet and how to take care of it!
