I am lucky to work in a school with an increasingly diverse ethnic and socio-economic population. Our students come from across the city and bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to our school community.
We believe that robust and engaging arts education is crucial to helping our students become well rounded and dynamic individuals.
The arts help students develop important social emotional skills including goal setting, team work and fostering self confidence. The skills learned in the arts will help our students be successful in many other areas of their lives.
My Project
For the third year, our school is putting on a musical. The program is open to students in 6-8th grade, but all grades come to see and enjoy the performance. While the school has been very supportive of the endeavor, we don't have any funds for props and costumes which help make theater such a fun and fulfilling experience.
This year we want to add more design elements to our production in order to have students experience all aspects of a theatrical production.
Students will be able to assist in the design of costume, props and sets for our show and then present their hard work to the school community.
We believe that arts education helps our students become more creative problem solvers and through the production they will also learn skills related to goal setting and teamwork.
