Dear Arts Educators,

There are many exciting things happening in the arts during the month of December and we wish all of our arts teachers much luck on upcoming performances and presentations! First, we would like to congratulate the art students of Ms. Lorenia Gutierrez-Casaus in Yuma Union High School District for representing Arizona at the America Celebrates Ornament Display! These ornaments are on display at the President's Park in Washington, DC. We are thankful to them for sharing their talent with the nation! We hope that you have a restful winter break and take some time to make some beautiful art, music, drama or dance solely for yourself. Arts participation is self-care!

Yours in collaboration,

ADE Arts Education
