ARTS UMBRELLA

Arts Umbrella, a not-for-profit arts education centre for children and youth, will be at Lord working with most classes on a fantastic drama program for the next week. This is a wonderful experience for students to learn and have fun with an expert!

Numerous studies indicate that people who receive arts education early in life reap many tangible, long-term, life-changing benefits. From enhanced critical thinking, improved self-esteem and ability to collaborate, to improved scores in math and science, children gain skills that can help them well into adulthood.

Arts Umbrella will return in February and March to provide our students with another wonderful art program. We are very fortunate to have this opportunity for students within the regular classroom schedule.

For more information about this program at Lord, please contact the school at 604-713-6420.
