Art Exhibition to Highlight Student Achievement in the Arts and Vital Role of Arts Education in Local Schools
WHAT: Opening ceremony for Growing up in America, an art exhibition of local students that awards $27,000 in cash prizes every year for outstanding work on the contest theme.
WHO: Superintendent Jane Doe and other local teachers and students
WHEN: March 1, 2007, 7:30pm
WHERE: Anytown Elementary School
WHY: Schools and students in Anytown, USA have experienced significant advances in achievement and student growth as the arts have become infused into the curriculum.
Children, teachers, schools and communities all benefit when the arts are a part of the learning experience and as Congress considers reauthorizing NCLB this year, we need to make sure that arts education gets the attention it deserves. Unfortunately, the implementation of NCLB has meant that arts education has taken a back seat to preparing our students to take achievement tests in math and science. Superintendent Doe’s remarks will highlight the positive impact the arts have had on school children in our district.
For more information on the NCLB Act and arts education, visit www.keepartsinschools.org.
HOW: To RSVP, please contact YOUR NAME at YOUR PHONE NUMBER or YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS.
