"My students really enjoyed our Monday morning art lessons. They were excited to see how they could use many different tools to create art... It was wonderful to see the connection between Art and Math, and Art and Social Studies... I plan on incorporating the connections made by integrating Art in other areas of the curriculum next school year"

– Rose Gonsalves, 3rd grade teacher at Webster Elementary

"Artist-Teacher Anna was wonderful. It's a thin and difficult line to walk when doing art with kids because you want them to be creative and yet maintain order, and she did an amazing job at that. There was structure at all times with enough liberty for students to be completely creative"

"The hip hop classes with Ms. Shantel really helped the students learn how to work together, have fun, and create something bigger than their individual work."
