It's time for an LA Trip #ThrowbackThursday! We want to send a huge thank you to Butch & Julieann Hartman for meeting with our students again this year. These two are such an inspiration!
Butch Hartman has brought to life The Fairly OddParents, Danny Phantom, and T.U.F.F. Puppy (to name a few). What an awesome opportunity for many of our students to meet their childhood hero!
Thank you, for taking time to invest in the next generation of creatives!
