Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Showcase the talent of students of all ages with public shows and recognition of their work. Foster the professional development and work of local Arts professionals. Financially support, with scholarships, the students who want to register and take courses in the Arts that would not be able to attend without support. Work to constantly promote the importance of the Arts all year long, and especially during the summer through College for Kids and Teens. Help to instill a lifelong appreciation for the Arts in its many different forms. Once all sessions are complete in July we will send out a link for a survey that parents can complete and submit online. We encourage parents to make sure to talk with their kids about the questions - that way we can gather information from the student and the parent. They survey has questions that cover what courses were taken, opinions on the different experiences the students had, learning outcomes achieved and overall satisfaction with the program.
