A Thanksgiving Day Tree
November 22, 2018
So many things to give thanks for. Amelia is doing very well in school taking courses in Urban Ecology, Dance Anatomy, Essay Writing, Environmental Politics. And she’s working part-time and gaining valuable career experience.
Coming home for the holidays, Amelia planted her tree in the front yard. It’s a “Kwanzan” Cherry Tree (prunus serrulata) and will grow to 20 – 40 feet high and 25 – 35 feet wide. It will bear double pink flowers in the spring and orange & yellow leaves in the fall. The Oregon juncos, finches, blue jays, sparrows and humming-birds will love her tree in the years to come.
It’s pouring rain… looks like a major storm has come. But the cherry tree was planted today!
By this time next year, this tree will start looking beautiful as the leaves turn red and yellow for fall.

Before classes begin, each student is interviewed to tailor the sequence of instruction and program to individual goals. Courses are taught by alumni of Cornish College of the Arts (Seattle).
On the fifth day, students perform a private showcase to guest theater professionals who provide each student a professional one-on-one critique and feedback session. On the final day, students have two public performances.
