"Alexa has enjoyed Santa Clarita School of Performing Arts (SCSOPA) from the very first day she started taking classes. As her parents, we thought it would be a great idea for her to take classes like 'Runway,' 'Cold Read,' 'Audition Techniques' and 'Scene Study,' since she had shown an interest in acting. Never did we think things would happen so quickly. The school not only prepared our child to go on auditions, but also has provided the opportunity to meet reputable agents that come to the school. Alexa signed up with KSR, one of the top agencies in the west coast, and has had great success. Less than two months after signing, Alexa booked her first commercial with Hasbro Ponyville, but hat was just the beginning. Soon after, she filmed another commercial for FurReal Friends S'mores the Pony, a voice over for My Little Mommy Baby Knows, a commercial for Microsoft, a back up spot with Jif peanut butter, and another for Hasbro Baby so Soft. When we asked Alexa what she liked the most about SCSOPA, she said she likes 'all the teachers because they make class fun and you learn at the same time,' and that she really likes Mike because he is always in a good mood and gives her balloons. She also loves all the friends she has made. As far as filming goes, Alexa has had a blast. She is literally treated like a princess," - Alexa's Parents

Family Time is Art Time!
How you spend time with your kids matters as much, if not more, than how much time you spend with them. When it comes to building quality relationships, few activities are more rewarding than art. Read on about the benefits of family art time, then drop into your favorite pottery-painting location to share the fun with your family.

Family art time is collaborative
kids learn how to share and provide appropriate feedback.

Family art time helps children learn
that there are multiple points of view and often more than one right answer.

Family art time builds a child's confidence
in themselves and those they love; they are better able to recognize the strengths each family member possesses.

Family art time helps everyone
adults and kids alike relax and think outside the box. Creative problem solving skills are developed.
