Topic: Free children’s acting camps
Theatre in The Grove hosted Spring Break Camp— students rehearsed and acted in an original play involving Sherlock Holmes and modern popular characters, such as Harry Potter. The parents paid for the students’ participation for the spring break session, this is part of the CAST Playhouse program which is a children’s acting camp. The program is free and sign ups for the next round are April 30th.
Key Points: The goals for the camps are to help children increase confidence in them, and engage them in artistic expression. The CAST Playhouse program is free, $6000 grants from the Regional Arts & Culture Council and Work for Art helped start the program, and ticket sales from the shows help maintain it.
Relevance: This is a great program if you are looking into getting your kids involved in the arts in some way, but do not have the funds to pay for programs or classes. This play was an original story idea created by the children, with a clever title “Extreme Makeover: Holmes Edition.” Sounds like an awesome thing to take advantage of if you get the chance! This is also a great alternative to schools that do not have a drama program.

Talisman Gallery is hosting the Art Teachers and Students Invitational Exhibit through March 27th. Students and teachers from schools around the area display their artworks and have the option to sell them too. This exhibit gives teachers a chance to also present their work, something that they do not normally have the time or opportunity to do.
Key Points:
19-20 schools, grades 7-12 are represented in the exhibit
The art pieces are not labeled as student or teacher produced
The exhibit is available through March 27th
Relevance: I just thought this was a neat opportunity for teachers to be able to display their work along with their fellow students. I think people tend to forget that teachers have other roles and titles that they go by when they are not teaching. They too are artists! The same goes with writers, researchers, photographers, administrators, athletes, or anything else that a teacher teaches and ALSO practices on their own. It would be cool to see more events like this, where teachers can show off their craft or practice along with their fellow students.

WestEd has chosen 16 Beaverton elementary schools to study over the next three years for their project. Another 16 schools were chosen as the control group, meaning they will not participate in the program. The program will go into implementation next fall and teachers will be attending training in the coming weeks. Intended Audience: Beaverton School district teachers and students, anyone interested in art in schools.
Key points:
The program incorporates drama, music, dance, and drawing into reading and writing lessons for students in grade levels 3 – 5
Artists in residency will visit the schools in May
$4million was awarded to Beaverton to help fund the program, including teacher training
The study will track the program’s effectiveness in the next five years
The school district is targeting high-needs groups for the program
Relevance: I am very curious as to how this program will affect performance in student’s and how the skills learned in this program will hold up as the students transfer to middle school. I think this is great, 1) because hey hey I love art and am passionate about teaching students to be creative and expressive, 2) this will create a great experience for students of that age; when I was in elementary school we did not have art class. We had art literacy, which was fun at times, but kind of boring for the most part. This program sounds like a good way to teach students reading and writing forms in different ways, sparking creativity and genuine interest in students.
