Dear Arts Educators,

Welcome to 2023! Congratulations on completing the first semester of this

school year. Thank you for inspiring a love of the arts in Arizona students

every day. Teaching can be challenging in many ways, but we thank you for

persevering and making an impact on a daily basis.

"...if I can inspire one of these youngsters to develop the talent I know they

possess, then my monument will be in their work."

-Augusta Savage

Thank you for preparing the musicians, artists, dancers, actors and creative

collaborators of tomorrow. You are doing great work and we thank you!

Yours in collaboration,

ADE Arts Education

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
