Another school year has come and gone, and it ended on a busy note!
Literacy Through the Arts (LTA), AFA's arts literacy program, finished its first semester at PS 163. LTA is now in three schools: PS 15 (Lower East Side, Mahattan), Hamilton Heights Elementary (Hamilton Heights, Manhattan), PS 163 (Bronx)! LTA students summed up their semester with using Dr. Seuss books to learn about rhyme (Grade K), presenting Paper Bag Princess scenes (Grade 1), and presenting adaptations of Jack and the Beanstalk (Grade 2).
Artistic Residency Program had programs at PS 69 (Staten Island), PS 76 (Queens), PS 163 (Bronx), Weeksville Elementary (Brooklyn). Students worked on building motor skills and explored animal movements through programs such as dance. Students explored nature and the art of collage through visual arts.
Creative Works, AFA's self-expression program at New Alternatives for Children, nine children worked just over ten weeks to create an original show, Two Sides to Every Story. The presentation included a scene that shows the other side of Three Little Pigs and a dance of self-expression called That Power.
Thank you once again for your continued support of our mission. Without your help, we would not be able to reach thousands of under-served New York City children with our accessible arts programs.
