(Special Thanks to Miss Stegner for this informational announcement/ and write up)
The Lake Elementary Art Department
and classroom teachers are beginning an exciting, action packed, multifaceted,
full year collaborative partnership with community organization, Arts
in Stark. (AIS) The goal of unifying these two organizations serves many
purposes, including promotion of learning, and connecting knowledge from many
subject areas using ART as a catalyst! Our goal is to raise student awareness
of the imperative role that art plays in all aspects of education, and our
daily lives. The theme for this partnership, beginning next school year
(2012-2013) is ...
“Art Beyond Borders” Students will use the arts to explore
opportunities, ideas, and objectives for making our world a better place.
Students will combine learning in math, science, social studies, music,
reading, technology and visual art to explore diversity, promote acceptance of
others, cultivate kindness, and affect the future with a positive impact!
As we embark on this project, to
begin in the 2012-2013 school year, we are eagerly
searching for community members (grandparents,
parents, aunts/uncles, or friends)
with strong cultural ties and a thorough knowledge of their personal heritage, of
whom would be willing to share stories, artifacts, or cultural experiences with
our students. We are looking for volunteers that could enrich our students’
content knowledge, ignite a passion for discovery/exploration, and promote a
personal appreciation of the many beautiful cultures and wonderful people that
make up our world.
If you are aware of any volunteers willing
to participate (A half-hour of sharing a cultural story, song, or experience
from their life) please fill out the attached sheet below and return to Miss
Stegner or Mrs. Susa (Visual Art Teachers) by the end of this school year, and
we will begin contacting the needed participants in the fall when we return
from summer break. A huge thank you in advance from us and our students for
sharing your culture with us!
Sincerely,
Miss Stegner and Mrs. Susa
