Arts in education
Arts in Education is a committee made up of representatives from each grade level as well as special area teachers, PTSA members, and administration. The goals of this committee are to expose each student to an arts & cultural experience at every grade level. This committee has been greatly supported by the members, administration and PTSA. As a committe we would like to thank the elementary school PTSA for the support of our mission and the financial support they provide for us.
