The BPS Arts Institute was great success!
The Arts Institute was hosted by Lesley University on September 9th, 2010. What a wonderful way to open the new school year with approximately 85 Arts Specialists district wide, representing all arts disciplines!

The theme of the Institute was Expect Achievement: Quality Arts Education is Essential for Successful Schools.
Let us know what you think about Expecting Achievement or just let us know what you thought about the Arts Institute. It would be great to hear from you!
Good luck to all Arts Specialists as we begin the new 2009-2010 School Year!
Does anyone remember the lyrics to the song Onawonni taught us?
ReplyDeleteHi Cyndi,
ReplyDeleteSorry I didn't get back to you yet. I'm swamped with work. I was looking at the video today and this song stood out. I'm not sure if this is what you want.
"Do the best you can with what you've got. You can take a little and turn it into a lot. Do the best you can with what you've got."
I'll be posting part of the video up tonight.
