Arts in Education Week

When

9/10/2017 – 9/15/2017

Next week, September 10-16, 2017 is National Arts in Education Week.

Arts in Education Week happens so quickly in our school year it is easy to slip by us as we are in the midst of getting into our routines and schedules.

Please join me in celebrating our outstanding artists, musicians, and actors in Davidson County Schools who bring our communities hundreds of art shows, performances, and productions every year.

A mention of this important week in your school to help celebrate will mean so much to our students and teachers who are passionately dedicated to bringing the arts into our lives.

We invite everyone to participate in this year’s celebration. An essential part of National Arts in Education week is visibility. This is a chance to tell the stories of the transformative power of the arts in Davidson County Schools on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter. Please consider sharing the story of the arts in your school using #BecauseOfArtsEd on social media, and you can use hashtag #ArtsEdWeek for anything related to the week.

The arts are an essential part of a complete education.

Celebrating National Arts in Education Week is a way for us to recognize this impact and share the message with friends, family, and communities.
