Castro Valley Arts Foundation – Planning for Next SeasonAfter years of watching my children and their friends perform on cafeteria stages, I knew our talented students deserved a real theater. When the Castro Valley Unified Superintendent called a meeting in 1998 to discuss interest in building a performing arts center on the Castro Valley High School campus, I was first in line. As a co-founder of the Castro Valley Arts Foundation and an active volunteer since its inception, I am proud of what we have accomplished over the twenty-plus years that I have been involved. Working with the Castro Valley Arts Foundation has enhanced my life. I have made many new friends, built relationships within the community, acquired new skills, and continued my involvement in the public schools that I hold so dear. It, also, has allowed me to say “thank you” to a school district and a choral and drama department that gave two of my children a jumpstart on their careers. Terry Liebowitz graduated from UC Berkeley in Classical Rhetoric and received a teaching credential from California State University, East Bay. Prior to Castro Valley Arts Foundation, her volunteer hours were been spent in education, the arts and the La Leche League. She is a writer and a regular contributor to the Castro Valley Forum in the Arts and Entertainment section |
