Jennings Creek Elementary offers new music program, ‘Thursday Live’

WARREN COUNTY, Ky. – At Jennings Creek Elementary School, a new program was started in order to get kids excited for school and showcase their young talents.

English Second Language teacher Curtis Willis started Thursday Live as a call back to the past but also to push the future. After a discussion with the gifted and talented program teacher, he decided to find some local performers.

The organic program has quickly taken off and now features some community members every now and then who volunteer their time and talent to brighten up the school day.

News 40 spoke to the kids in the band, who said it’s a great experience, building their confidence and motivating kids to come to school.

Willis has had several of his friends come by, but he’s open to more acts. If you’d like to volunteer, then start by emailing him at curtis.willis@warren.kyschools.us.
