A child's success in the school depends as much of his academic achievement as it depends on his social and emotional development. Learning a second language and learning about other cultures through the arts accomplishes both objectives; learning languages and the arts enrich the whole child. In District 3, students in all grades and across the district are immersed in the arts: instrumental music, chorus, dance, theater and the visual arts. We also have a long-standing tradition of success with Dual Language Programs -Spanish and more recently French, along with an increasing interest in the teaching of world languages including Italian and Mandarin in many of the schools.

On Saturday May 8, 2010, we want to recognize how children lives are enriched by learning languages and the arts with a district wide event that will feature a panel of experts discussing their benefits in the child's education, performances by the children and a visual arts display with contributions from every school.

We look forward to seeing you at PS 75 on May 8th, Join us!  Click on the link for flyer in:  Spanish, French, Chinese and
