LSMSA is a gem! The foundation provides INVALUABLE support to the best and brightest youth in the state of Louisiana. After graduation, wherever these students go, they bring a rare combination of creativity, rationality, and intelligence. As a student, LSMSA offered me a formal introduction to dance and I loved performing for the first time ever as part of the Spring Ensemble Concert. Also, the school helped me develop photography skills through dark-room access. Involvement in the media club and was one of the best opportunities I have ever had to be able to use the tools that are so necessary to be an artist. As an alumni, I frequently attend student art showcases and am constantly amazed at the high caliber of work that LSMSA students are able to produce. This is so not only because they are achievers themselves, but because they are given the guidance, nurturing, and tools that they need. LSMSA Foundation is a GREAT non-profit!!!
