The Arizona Deparment of Education believes the arts are an essential part of a complete education, no matter if it happens in the home, school, or community. Students of all ages—from kindergarten to college to creative aging programs—benefit from artistic learning, innovative thinking, and creativity. That is why we'd like to wish you all a Happy Arts in Education Week and suggest a couple ways to celebrate!
