celebrate national arts in education week
Dear
On July 26, 2010, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a resolution designating the second week of September as Arts in Education Week to promote and showcase the immense role arts education has in producing engaged, successful, and college- and career-ready students. Of course, Art in Action is passionate about the subject but we think what parents have to say speaks volumes. |
