Arts in Education Week – Day 4

The celebration continues 

What’s it all about? If you missed the last two blog posts and wondering where and how this week got started: Starting in 2010 Arts in Education Week was designated by Congress with the House Resolution 275. The resolution names the week beginning with the second Sunday in September as National Arts in Education Week.
