Author Description

Here it is! Our rst collection of Fortune Academy student art. Students at The Fortune Academy, with their varied learning differences, often become imaginative, outside-the-box thinkers. Their alternative ways of viewing a problem will lead to new approaches and very creative solutions. We are proud to present this rst collection of artistic creations from our Mighty Oaks. Please enjoy! Special Thanks: The idea for this collection came from Dr. Janet George. Janet George, M.S., M.ED, F/AOGPE is the founder and Head of School at Fortune Academy in Indianapolis, IN. An award-winning leader in the field of special education, her most recent awards include the Women in Achievement Award from Ball State University and Indiana Administrator of the Year Award from LDA. She is married to her husband of 34 years, Kelly, and they have 3 grown children. The collection of art from the school archives was the work of Ms. Brenda Marks, who gave and continues to give countless hours of volunteer work to The Fortune Academy. Mr. Bryan Flynn provided graphic design, layout and editing and without his help this collection could not have gone to press.Paul DuFresne January, 18,2018
