Dear Friend of KID smART,
One of Einstein’s great insights, which were the foundation of relativity, came to him when he imagined he was riding a light wave. When we founded KID smART ten years ago, our vision was to create arts-rich learning environments that fired the imaginations of children in our local public schools. We knew the value of the arts as an end in themselves and as a means to ignite the imagination in the service of all learning. And so we began.
The KID smART model, teaching the arts and teaching other content through the arts, proved to be an idea right for its time, fitting hand in glove with the growing movement for reform of school culture, curriculum and pedagogy. None of us, however, expected that by our tenth year our impact would increase over a hundred fold. We began with twenty children in one school. This year we expect to work with over three hundred teachers and three thousand children in eleven public elementary schools, nine in New Orleans and two in Jefferson Parish.
KID smART. Education through Imagination. Ten years and counting. Learn more about us in our tenth anniversary brochure and visit our web site at www.kidsmart.org. Ride a light wave with us. Imagine a world in which children truly are engaged in learning. Partner with us to make it happen. Make a “good” gift to KID smART’s work this year. Imagine the difference you will make.
Sincerely,
Allison Stewart Campbell Hutchinson
