🎓 Education
Wiregrass Museum of Art received a $5,000 grant from Alabama Power to launch Studio 126, a free after-school art program for teens ages 13 to 16 starting this fall — the grant covers materials, staffing and studio operations.
The program will offer flexible, student-led projects with guidance from museum educators — and serve youth across the five-county Wiregrass area.
The Dothan Houston County Library System has launched the Youth Library Card Art Contest — open to DHCLS cardholders ages 0 to 18 — that invites young artists to submit artwork in person or online with entries due by 6 p.m. on August 29, and the winning design will appear on the new children’s library card.
Mental health advocates urge parents, teachers and caregivers in Dothan to watch for signs of anxiety as students return to school.
Experts say symptoms (such as trouble sleeping, headaches and muscle tension) may need professional support if they persist.
