What was your favorite part of elementary school? Math? Reading? Visits to the principal's office?
Or did you love your art classes? Learning to sing and play an instrument?
Yes, you did. Sure, you enjoyed other aspects, too...but there was just something special about those arts programs.
Except there are people out there who don't see it that way. And they are making those programs disappear from our children's lives.
If that sounds appalling to you, do something about it.
Watch your local news. See what school districts are eliminating their arts programs.
Do something about it.

Thank you.
Art class! Makes me angry that some people don't understand the importance of exposing kids to all the options available...not just math & science, etc.
