With so much emphasis put on sports for kids, I thought it was worth mentioning the importance of the arts in our children's lives. We are fortunate that our school district has a very strong arts program (music, band and art) and we have wonderful teachers who encourage our students to explore their talents. Participating in the arts is a great way to build self confidence and self esteem. It has also been shown to improve academic performance.
