Student Matinees
The arts have far-reaching potential to help students achieve education goals.
"Dance, music, theatre and visual arts are everywhere in our lives, adding depth and dimension to the environment we live in and shaping our experiences, often so deeply or subtly that we are unaware of their presence. In any civilization, the arts are inseparable from the very meaning of the term "education."
- Arizona Department of Education
"Rationale Statement for the Arts."
