Alpine District's Central Elementary wins national PTA arts grant
Alpine School District's Central Elementary School in Pleasant Grove was awarded Wednesday the National Parent Teacher Association's "Reflections Enhancement Award."
Central Elementary will receive a $775 grant to be used on student-centered programs focused on arts education. The school has 500 children -- many of whom are considered "at-risk." Central is a Title 1 school which means it has a large percentage of students on free or reduced lunch.
Central Principal Mary Lou Anderson wrote in the application letter: "Our Arts Program, which covers instructional materials, art supplies, drama club, school play, a Gettysburg re-enactment and a dance festival, has been a wonderful opportunity for the students to learn and explore all aspects of the arts."
"We are committed to spend $775 toward our arts programs as we match the funds donated by this grant to make a difference in the lives of our students," Anderson wrote.
