The 2011 Annual Report: Reigniting Creativity in the Classroom

It has arrived: the 2011 Annual Report.  

But you won’t receive a copy in the mail. This year, we built a website.

When you surf the site, you’ll come across:

• an infographic. What better way to show the 3 W’s (why, what, and will) for creativity in education?

• a long scroll of supporters. (THANK YOU!) 

• Jayden and Isabella, two students you need to meet.

• “Behind the Teaching” interviews with teaching artists Aaron Kierbel and Shireen Rahimi

And many more stories!

Let me know what you think of the new format! Leave a comment below or shoot me an email at beverly@performingartsworkshop.org

Help raise $2,000 in the next 23 hours, 59 minutes, and 59 seconds

Can you lend a hand today?

A generous donor recently struck a deal with us: If you make a donation in the next 24 hours, she’ll match every dollar we receive up to $1,000.

Can you help us meet our $1,000 goal with a gift of $5, $15, $25, or more?

Public schools and community programs in California can’t seem to catch a break. Sustained and severe budget cuts have left restricted access to arts education for our youth.

Performing Arts Workshop steps in by providing a spectrum of arts classes—theatre, poetry, capoeira, and more—that develop a child’s critical thinking and problem solving skills, and increase engagement in school and learning.

Watch this three-minute video to take a peek inside Performing Arts Workshop’s classrooms:

Our fiscal year goal is $50k by June 30th, and we’re almost there.  If just 40 people give $25 each, we can easily meet our goal within one day.

Please, take a moment to lend a hand to at-risk youth in our community.  Right now, your donation will go twice as far:

Funding for programs like ours continues to be challenging to secure, and that’s why every little bit helps.  Really, every little bit helps.  Please give what you can today.
