ACHF Arts Education
Glacier Hills Elementary will participate in high quality arts learning opportunities. Students will share their arts learning experiences with the community. We will use participant counts. We will create new activities and models of arts learning to use with other groups. Information regarding new program interest will be tracked. We will engage the community with the purpose of expanding this model. 2: Students of different ethnic, educational, and economic levels will have access to high quality arts experiences that cement classroom concepts. The barriers to participation that the Glacier Hills community faces will be identified and addressed. Evaluation of concept retention and arts participation of the whole group and demographic segments will take place.
721 Students participated in six new tours, enrichment activities and arts experiences. Three new schools are interested in participating in the program. 2: Students of all abilities, skill levels, and economic or racial groups were able to participate in the project by identifying and mitigating barriers.
