Arts in Education - (Executive Board Chairmen, Representatives at each school) The primary task of the Arts in Education Committee is to explore programs across the broad spectrum of the arts throughout the year. The committee will recommend those programs which will enhance the cultural education of Garden City students. Exposure to the arts is valuable to learning since it stimulates creativity, curiosity, and awareness of the world around us.
