ACHF Arts Education
Continue to provide opportunities for age-appropriate art projects for children in our schools. Provide quality programs for appropriate ages. See continued support for other projects from young adults who come to this event because their children are involved. Continue to instill arts in our communities and school. A short survey will be included with the program. These will be collected at the end of each performance. Friends of the Arts members will document the results of the survey.
Of the 33 surveys returned, four respondents did not have a child participating. All felt this program provided adequate opportunity for elementary children to participate and learn about various parts of the production. All would like Friends of the Arts to continue programming such as this. Seven people volunteered to help with future productions. Questions were also asked of the children about what did they learn or learn better while practicing for the play. Their responses were in the following areas: memorizing, backstage, confidence, moves, speaking, singing, tech support. The boy who played Auntie Em said he learned how to talk easier as a girl. Their responses indicated their learning and enjoyment of the experience.
