Micro Schools In Alabama Parent Interest Meeting
2025-03-20 18:00 - 19:30 | AL
Great news, Alabama parents! Microschools are now a real and accessible option for your child’s education—and thanks to the CHOOSE Act, financial support is available to help families like yours find the best fit.
What is a Microschool?
Microschools are small, community-based educational programs that offer personalized, one-on-one attention. They blend the freedom of homeschooling with the structure of traditional school, offering a more customized and engaging learning experience. With fewer students, your child receives tailored lessons that meet their unique needs, allowing for more focus and flexibility.
Microschools are perfect for students who:
✨ Feel constrained or limited by traditional education
✨ Face bullying or school violence with no online options available
✨ Struggle to meet state graduation requirements
✨ Are from military families needing flexible learning due to frequent moves
✨ Are gifted and talented, yet lack specialized programs for their needs
✨ Want a voice and choice in how, when, and what they learn
✨ Desire additional skills beyond academics
✨ Need a more engaging, dynamic, and interesting way of learning
✨ Want a fast track to graduation
✨ Have diverse learning needs that require a more personalized approach
Microschools give families more choice—and now, thanks to Alabama’s CHOOSE Act, it’s easier than ever to make it happen!
The CHOOSE Act
Alabama’s CHOOSE Act provides financial support to families, making microschools affordable and accessible. The state is investing in educational options that cater to the individual needs of children, ensuring that every child has the opportunity to succeed in a learning environment that works for them.
Your child’s education should fit their unique needs.
📲 Learn more about microschools and how to access financial support today!

The Art of Woodburning: Exploring Pyrography with Katie Mae Adams
2025-03-22 10:00 - 14:00 | Space One Eleven Arts Center, 2409 2nd Avenue North, Birmingham, AL, 35203, United States
Immerse yourself in the meditative practice of woodburning, where heat meets artistry to create intricate, timeless designs. In this workshop, we’ll explore pyrography—the art of drawing with fire—as a means of expression, connection, and creativity.
This hands-on experience will guide you through:
Understanding the pyrography tools and how to use them with precision and control.
Exploring various techniques such as shading, line work, and texture to bring depth and dimension to your designs.
Learning how to transfer your own ideas and inspirations onto wood with fluidity and ease.
Discovering the unique properties of different woods and how they influence the final artwork.
Wood will be provided, but you are also invited to bring your own wooden objects—whether it’s a turned bowl, small wooden carpentry items, or a piece with personal significance—to imbue it with your own artistic vision.
By the end of the workshop, you will have created a one-of-a-kind pyrographic piece that reflects your creative journey. No previous experience is required, just an open mind to explore the simple act of drawing with fire.
This workshop is taught by Katie Mae Adams, a local Alabama artist specializing in functional objects and sculpture. Adams holds a Bachelor of Arts from Western Kentucky University and a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa, where she currently teaches as an adjunct instructor while also running her own fine arts business full time.
