We have a diverse group of first grade learners who we believe do not always have an opportunity to be exposed to the arts. Studies have found that children's theatre has a powerful impact on their development. Studies show that engaging in imaginative activities, like theatre, fosters increased intelligence. Research also shows that children that attend live theatre performances have greater empathy for others. They also demonstrate a better understanding of reading materials. Due to varying socio-economic backgrounds and limited theatre opportunities, we feel that our students would greatly benefit from this experience. Our school is one of five elementary schools in the district and draws students from both rural and suburban areas. The school district itself has over 6000 students and our specific school services over 500.
