Do the arts matter? What if they were to disappear????


Why the Arts Matter

"It helps kids think outside the box--become better problem solvers. We see kids learning to be persistent and learning not to give up . . . and that carries over into their core academics, too. I’ve seen a real shift in climate and attitude as we have given students more arts opportunities—teachers are more passionate about their work and students are excited to be here," Roosevelt Elementary Principal, Steve Morse.

"Art gives us. . . genuine lifetime learnings! I learned that if you make a mistake-don’t give up. . . mistakes can turn out to be GREAT," Bellingham Elementary Teacher.


Hear what else Roosevelt principal Steve Morse has to say about why arts make a difference at his school.
