A presentation to the Arts Council
Tonight I and three middle school teachers will speak at an evening reception hosted by the Arts Council of Chautauqua County. We will be sharing collections of our thoughts and that of parents and families regarding the Local Capacity Grant that was awarded our Special Education programs at the Hewes Center early this year. The collaboration of parents and the school, resulted in a grant proposal that eventually saw the production of puppet theatre by Das Puppenspiel. Tonight’s presentation is key to the development of other proposals that we at the Hewes Center will write in the coming school year to bring arts into our school for the purpose of expanding the horizons of our students.
Ripley Central School had artists in residence - poets, this year, who reached out to parents and the community. What a boost for the language arts programs there!. This is a wonderful way for schools to invite community into our facilities and expand the mental borders of all residents.
