National Arts in Education Week reminds us: we’re not just fostering creativity — we’re building America’s workforce.

Students without arts education are missing skills employers demand:
📊 72% of business leaders say creativity is “highly important” when hiring
💡 61% of workers say creativity makes them more successful
🎯 53% say their roles require innovative thinking Arts Education builds the collaboration, confidence, and critical thinking that drive success.

🏛 That’s why we support the Arts Education for All Act, Well-Rounded Education programs, and the HBCU Arts Act—to ensure all students gain the skills to succeed.

👉 Take action this #ArtsEdWeek: Tell Congress we’re stronger together for arts in education. https://americansthearts.quorum.us/campaign/138934/

Happy IT Professionals Day!

We are celebrating Start With Hello Week to build a culture of inclusivity and empathy! @sandyhook #StartWithHelloWeek #StartWithHello #SandyHookPromise #BOCES
It’s National Arts in Education Week — and the data is clear:

Students engaged in arts learning have:
🎓 Higher GPAs and test scores
🎓 Greater college-going rates
🎓 Lower dropout rates

These benefits reach students across all backgrounds, yet more than 2 million still lack access to arts education. 92% of Americans agree: Every student deserves a quality arts education.

That’s why #E2CCB supports the Arts Education for All Act and Well-Rounded Education programs — legislation that helps make these benefits a reality.
