Our Department of Visual & Performing Arts had an incredible Professional Learning Day on Oct. 20! Art and music teachers reflected and connected through exploration of Aesthetic Education by creating movement based on memories of special locations. They also played improv games and learned about social-emotional learning and community-building through the arts with comedian Chris Gethard and the Laughing Together organization. Instrumental music teachers learned about instrument repair with a team from The Music Shop,  and the Grades 4-12 choir team collaborated on tools for the classroom. The whole team had a chance to share resources, ideas, materials, and strategies for a rich and fulfilling day!
