ACHF Arts Education
As a result of this program, area children from ages 7-17 will develop their skill in the performing arts and see that good effort and working together can create something larger than the sum of the individual parts. Evaluation will occur through a follow-up meeting with planners, counting actual audience members and number of families participating, and having the participants fill out a questionnaire about their experience.
32 children participants from 24 families stated that they improved their skill in performing arts. There was an increase of Latino students this year, due to personally being invited to participate as they visited the library. More community people, including a marked increase in older Latino adults, came out to watch the performance this year. The school theater director said students are eager to be in the school production because of a positive Children's Summer Theater experience.
