The Arts Experience & Our Schools - Working Together for Children

Here at The Arts Experience, we’re proud to note our continuing cooperation with Cabarrus County public and private schools  in working together for children.

If you’ll forgive us for tooting our own horn, we’d like to highlight for you some of the ways we work with the local schools, and how your generous contributions are paying off in the community.

We host an annual luncheon for music specialists from county public and private schools, giving teachers a chance to network with each other, and to learn more about the programs available to their students through The Arts Experience.

Further contributing to the success of the area music specialists, we offer several opportunities each year for teacher employment and development. We contract with local teachers to help with our summer programs and special projects, and we bring in music professionals to offer continuing education credits to area teachers free of charge. It means a lot to the teachers to be able to add these programs to their resumes and teaching credentials. It means even more to their students, who benefit directly from their teachers’ renewed excitement and expanded knowledge.

We are continuing to cross cultural lines to recruit young voices for our choir programs. We have developed a new partnership with local public school English as a Second Language programs to continue to break down social, economic, and now even language barriers between our young people.

Students and teachers are benefiting from our regular literature distribution program within the schools. Thanks to Philip Morris, we are also developing a program brochure in Spanish to be distributed to the students in the English as a Second Language classes so that more parents and children can be made aware of the opportunities offered by The Arts Experience.

We also have in development a new cultural arts and music curriculum to be used in after school programs. This program will reach an even wider audience of young people who live in single-parent homes or in homes with two working parents.

We’re proud of the partnerships we’ve made in Cabarrus County, and as we continue to grow with your support, we’ll be telling you about more and more of them.
