Help bring art to life at our school!
Art in Action is a complete art program for K-8th grade, with web-based, zoom or in-person training designed to allow classroom volunteers to deliver the lessons. The program is purchased by the school district and the PTO buys the art supplies required to deliver the lessons.
Why Volunteer?
Impact: You directly support creative learning and a culture of art at our school.
Flexibility: The time commitment is low and timing negotiable with your child's teacher.
Connection: You get to connect with your child’s class and make some great memories!
