ART OF GIVING PROJECT
Art Drop Boxes will be available in our office for collection of this project:
The ART OF GIVING is a project that is very near and dear to my heart, just as ART is at the HEART of Blake. Although this project is very personal, with all of us working together, it has the potential to impact and uplift so many others. I began the Art of Giving when my boys were small. The Bowman boys, like many chronically ill children, spent countless hours in the hospital. They tire of the many, often painful, procedures; however, these procedures are their means of survival. Art therapy is a very vital part of these children’s care. It creates a positive direction, allows them to express their emotions about their health, and is a different approach to cope through ART. I have had the rare opportunity to see first hand how amazing art therapy is for these children; please consider joining us during our Art of Giving event, the reward is priceless. ~ Kim Bowman
Congratulations to our 2016 PTA REFLECTIONS PARTICIPANTS!!
PTA Reflectionsis a nationally acclaimed student recognition program to encourage artistic creativity in the classroom and at home. Students of all grades and abilities may participate and explore the arts based on the 2016-2017 theme: What Is Your Story?
Below are some notes of encouragement as to why we should be encouraging our kids to participate in the reflections contest each year!
• All children deserve opportunities to explore and be involved in the arts. The arts play a crucial role in students‘ success in school and beyond, enhancing their reading and language skills, mathematics skills, thinking skills, motivation to learn and positive school environment.
• The national pta reflections program is pta’s cornerstone arts program. It offers students the opportunity to earn local, state and even national recognition for original artwork they create in response to a specific theme.
• Students who participate are given an opportunity to explore the arts and culture, develop creative thinking and problem-solving skills and recognize themselves as artists
• Families can support their children’s participation by creating time and space for their student to work on their entry, providing encouragement to their child’s creative imagination.
• All artwork ( dance choreography, film production, literature, music composition, photography and visual arts) must reflect this years theme ‘Let Your Imagination Fly’.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR GENEROUS DONATION!
