Calling all artistic and non-artistic parents alike! Art in Action is a parent-led art program that exposes our children to art history and other cultures, and allows them to express their creativity. Your help and dedication make the program possible, and the kids LOVE seeing you volunteering in their classroom!
For the 2024-2025 school year, we invite you to join us for an Art in Action kick-off meeting, hosted by the Art in Action Committee and our Artist-in-Residence, Salena Paul.
Please choose one of the following dates and sign up below:
- Tuesday, September 10th at 2:00 p.m.
- Thursday, September 12th at 8:45 a.m.
Location: South School Courtyard
This meeting is for all volunteers, both new and those who have been involved before. If you are not able to make one of these kick-off sessions but would like to be involved in AiA, please kindly let us know, and we will get in touch with you directly.
Art in Action lessons start early October and will take place once a month. We have various volunteer opportunities, including teaching, assisting, taking photographs, managing supplies, displaying student artwork, and organizing the end-of-year art show.
To stay updated on all things Art in Action, please join your grade-level Art in Action volunteer list here. Specific volunteer dates for each classroom will be posted soon on Konstella.
Finally, this year for the first time, AiA Live Training Sessions will be held right here in our Hillsborough schools! Save the following dates—more information and details on how to reserve your spot will follow soon.
