Cultural /Assembly Programs

The PTO dedicates a large portion of its budget to this committee.  The money is used to present theatrical, musical and dance assemblies, as well as educational programs, for the children at each school.  Meetings are held several times throughout the year to select the three to four shows that will be presented at each school.  In addition, committee members attend showcases (short previews of several shows performed at one location), go to various schools to preview possible programs and investigate any teacher recommendations based on performances that they have seen.  The members make scheduling arrangements between artists and schools. 

The following skills are helpful in serving on this committee:

• An interest in today's performing arts and in providing a stimulating variety of programs to the children.

• The ability to communicate and work with artists and school staff when arranging dates.

• The ability to travel to daytime showcases and/or preview shows being held at other schools.

• The ability to attend the scheduled programs and assist the artists when needed.
