“Everybody can be great...because anybody can serve…”

Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr elaborates further in this infamous quote, but the first sentence truly says it all.

It is a great source of pride when we witness our Stivers School for the Arts - Dayton, OH students serving in the community using their unique talents and gifts!

The goal and vision for this year’s MLK DAY Concert was to journey through history WITH the Arts! ❤️ From current students to alumni spanning several decades, their individual performing and visual art contributions were profound ⭐️ and deeply appreciated by all!

2025 was filled with pride and joy as we celebrated the many accomplishments and achievements of the students at Stivers School for the Arts - Dayton, OH. This year was also marked with great sorrow as we loss two amazing individuals that were a part of our Seedling family and community.

Jon Sebaly was a beloved, committed board member for many years, guiding us with his infinite wisdom and a heart for the arts.

Karen Wick is the very reason why many of you know who and what Seedling is. Joining us year after year every February for “Savor Your Sundays,” experiencing the amazing cuisine and hospitality from
Karen and her one of a kind staff at Coco's Bistro, while enjoying art and student performances in a beautiful space.

As we stand on the heels of a new year, we take a moment to honor them and the legacy and impact they left within and outside of the Seedling Foundation. ❤️
