MAYBE THIS IS ONE SMALL STEP TOWARD DIVERSIFYING THE STATE’S ECONOMY. IT’S THE CIRCUS, OR MORE PRECISELY, IT’S A CIRCUS SCHOOL.
STATE SENATOR NANCY RODRIGUEZ OF SANTA FE IS SPONSORING SENATE BILL 412. IT TAKES 100-THOUSAND DOLLARS OF THE THE GENERAL FUND TO PAY FOR A SCHOOL THAT TEACHES CIRCUS ARTS. CHILDREN WILL LEARN A VARIETY OF SKILLS, FROM JUGGLING AND CLOWNING, TO GIANT PUPPETRY AND THE TRAPEZE.
THE BILL IS NOW BEFORE THE SENATE EDUCATION COMMITTEE. SO IF YOU’VE EVER WANTED TO RUN AWAY TO JOIN A CIRCUS, HERE’S WHERE YOU CAN START THE JOURNEY.
