Arts and music leaders celebrate student exhibitions, new equipment and performances
Summary
Arts and music presenters described Youth Art Month events, a new elementary theater, expanded instrument inventory and a high-school jazz performance scheduled at the New York State Capitol; the presenters noted 663 NISMA registrations and that 65% were paid by credit card through the new parent portal.
Ruth, the arts presenter, highlighted Youth Art Month events and recent performing-arts activity, including a new theater at Jackson Elementary School and numerous exhibitions and performances across grade levels. She noted initiatives to modernize equipment — electric violins and expanded keyboard capabilities — and described interdisciplinary experiences, such as an astrophotography trip and expanded musical opportunities.
Ruth also described administrative improvements to event payments: the district implemented a parent portal for music-inventory payments (NISMA) that recorded 663 registrations, 430 of which (about 65%) were completed by credit card. She thanked the board and administrators for support and said the district has applied for recognition in music-education programs that will be announced in April.
