Arts In Education

Bringing the Arts to Your Child's School

Division Street's Arts In Education program (funded by both the district and our PTA) brings music, arts, visual arts, creative writing, theater, dance, and other types of art to your child’s school through performances, workshops, and residencies.  Arts In Education programs supplement the core curriculum. We are fortunate to be a part of a school and a school district that recognizes the importance of arts in education to motivate and enrich students.

Current Programs

School-Wide - “Ready, Stead, Focus” with Jilly Sansone. Ms. Jilly returns to Division Street Elementary School to lead 20-minute mindfulness sessions in each class, once a month. Jilly will come to classrooms on Thursday, September 25th and Friday, September 26th.

First Grade - Monarch Butterflies. It’s Monarch time again. The larvae and chrysalises arrived this week! An educator from Saratoga County 4-H Outreach will come to the 1st Grade classrooms to teach the students about the monarch life cycle, migration, and conservation. This opportunity allows the children to participate in the scientific process and experience this amazing insect’s transformation first-hand. Once mature, the butterflies will be released for migration.
