ELMWOOD ELEMENTARY MISSION STATEMENT
The staff at Elmwood Elementary School believes unwaveringly
that all students can achieve high academic standards through
the infusion of the arts. Through the arts we will be able to
see and hear the achievements of all students. Students will
understand how to think deeply and then be able to apply
knowledge in new ways. By infusing the arts into daily academic
instruction, students will achieve real and significant academic
growth. We KNOW that through arts infusion Elmwood
School is educating the creative and intellectual side of the
human personality thus, educating the whole child.
Reading can make your child a better
writer, and writing can make her a
better reader. Help her take advantage
of the link between the two subjects
with these ideas.
