Our first week back with the Artists-in-Schools Initiative has been a phenomenal one with our friends from @blackboxdance at @scebulldogs !

Students faces lit up when fan favorite, Alfredo, stepped out with an introduction to a new piece in Spanish. Paying tribute to Latin cultures, the students laughed, clapped, and joyfully cheered for the dancers. They even got a mini-chemistry lesson…through dance! With dancers acting out the interplay between protons, neutrons and electrons, the students got an artistic and visual demonstration aligned with curriculum standards. And that’s what makes Artists-in-Schools so special! Not only do students get to watch and work with professional teaching artists, they get to learn about typical subjects in an atypical way, piquing their interest and asking them to step outside the norm through art. And a big thank you to our sponsor, Amador Foundation, for supporting this amazing work! Your partnership helps make Artists-in-Schools possible. #chathamartscouncil #artistsinschools #chathamcountync #chathamcountyschools
