Drama club is geared for elementary and middle school students but older students are welcome, experience is not necessary. Students will play games and act out short skits. Drama Club is a place where students can come together to build confidence, and develop lifelong friendships.
Student Eagle
Tennessee Student Eagle is an organization sponsored by Tennessee Eagle Forum composed of like-minded teenage students who share conservative interests. This program trains students ages 12 and up to be knowledgeable, independent thinkers to face the current social and political environment. Student Eagle meets monthly with Frances Arthur, the TN Student Eagle Director, to discuss an issue or current event. The students determine which topics to discuss in advance. Our students also track one piece of legislation through the committee process each session. They are also taught how to lobby the bill through emails, phone calls, and visits with legislators.
During the General Assembly session, our teens have the opportunity to shadow state legislators for a day at the TN State Capitol. They attend committee meetings, hear from the constituents, and may even get to hear debates on the House and Senate floors.
Frances has taught high school, middle school, and elementary school in public, homeschool, and homeschool cooperative settings over the last 30 years. As a lifelong learner, she has developed a skill set that allows her to effectively teach government, politics, economics, and American and world history. She frequently serves as a judge for local speech and debate tournaments. Involved with so many worthy endeavors, Frances says that her favorite volunteer work is serving with Tennessee Eagle Forum as the Student Eagle Director, teaching high school students across the state how to participate in their government effectively. Frances has served in this role since 2011.
*Donation to help cover travel costs for Frances is appreciated.
