What is Youth Art Month?
Youth Art Month is an annual observance each March to emphasize the value of art education for all children and to encourage support for quality school art programs.
Started in 1961 by the ACMI (Art and Craft Materials Institute) in cooperation with the NAEA, the program is administered by the Council for Art Education (CAE) and focuses on the following eight goals:
1. To direct attention to the value of art education which develops divergent and critical thinking skills; multicultural awareness; and technical, communication, and expressive skills.
2. To increase community, business, and governmental support for art education.
3. To recognize that art is a necessity for the full development of better quality of life for all people.
4. To expand art programs in schools and stimulate new ones.
5. To increase community understanding and interest in art and art education through involvement in art exhibits, workshops, and other creative ventures.
6. To provide additional opportunities for individuals of all ages to participate in creative art learning.
7. To encourage commitment to the arts by students, community organizations, and individuals everywhere.
8. To recognize art education as a viable component in the total education curricula that develops citizens of a global society.

🚌 A Note on Your Commute
We know how "brutally cold" it’s going to be, so we’re adjusting our approach to keep you out of the wind chill:
* Wait Inside: Please feel free to wait in your home or a warm car instead of standing at the curb.
* We’ll Wait for You: Our drivers have been instructed to allow for extra time at each stop. They will keep a sharp eye out for students heading toward the bus from their front doors or vehicles.
* Stay Visible: As soon as you see the bus approaching, give a quick wave or start heading toward the stop so the driver knows you're ready!
🧤 Safety Reminders
* Layer Up: Wear a heavy coat, gloves, and a hat that covers your ears.
* Watch Your Step: Be careful of "black ice" on sidewalks and bus steps.
* Cozy inside: while we have warm temps in our buildings, we would never shy away from suggesting bringing an extra sweatshirt with you (just in case).
* Recess: Elementary students stay inside for recess when the temperature drops below 20°. While we encourage fresh air and exercise, we want our students and aides to be safe in the cold.
A reminder for Secondary Students:
- 6th graders report the remainder of the week - Tuesday through Friday.
- Tuesday: any students in grade 7 through 12 should report if asked to attend the January academy. Otherwise only students who are taking a Regents exam should report to school.
- Wednesday: only students in grade 7 through 12 who are taking a Regents exam should report to school.
- All secondary students report to classes on Thursday and Friday.
A friendly reminder that there is no school tomorrow, Monday, January 19, 2026 in remembrance of Martin Luther King, Jr.
