Vicki passionately believes that every person on this earth is born to be creative. It is imperative for our survival as a species, as well as our personal happiness, that we discover our creative outlets and learn to use them to make the world a better place. Arts education is a vital way of doing this. Every child deserves an arts education--performing arts, visual arts, dance/movement, music, creative writing, and everything in between. In 2014, Vicki created the THS Drama Boosters to support the drama program. In 2018 she helped create the Templeton Performing Arts Center Foundation to develop community support and raise money for the TPAC. These non-profits work together with our beautiful theatre, passionate teachers, and students, to build up and reinforce a community of invested supporters and audience members.
