Students will focus on creative outlet in dealing with anxiety and emotional issues. They’ll explore music and art, drama, songwriting, lyric analysis and musical improvisation through out the club program.
This program is geared towards teenagers to help smooth the transition from elementary school to middle school. The program aims to help students in rising middle school grades to build self-esteem and self-confidence. They will explore concepts related to healthy coping skills, peer pressure and supportive resources.
The club will weave creative and expressive arts through out the theme of resiliency and growing up as these middle school aged students explore their own journey and connect with fellow students.

The 10 club meeting dates will be scheduled around known holidays and school/organization breaks. If scheduled group date needs to be moved then please provide PMT with advanced notice. Rescheduling may not be possible. If a club is cancelled without make-up then 50% of club meeting cost is still due to PMT. If PMT Staff is ill then arrangements will be made to hopefully provide coverage by another PMT Staff Member. If not, then club will have make-up date. Failure to give 24-hour notice as outlined above will result in a “No Show” fee being added to your account. Additionally please understand that the club ends as originally scheduled. Your instructor will wait at least ten minutes after the scheduled club time, before declaring the meeting a “no show.”
