Arts in Education Week

New Instruments for Secondary School Bands, Thanks to Arts Millage Funds!

We’re thrilled to share that many of our secondary schools have received brand new band instruments through the Arts Millage Funds! Music programs are a vital part of student development, fostering creativity, discipline, and collaboration. Thanks to this much-needed funding, students across the district now have access to the instruments they need to enhance their music education.

These new instruments will not only help our students improve their musical skills but also empower them to excel in performances, competitions, and personal growth. We are incredibly grateful for the community’s support through the Arts Millage, which continues to enrich the arts and ensure that our students have the tools to thrive.

Keep an eye out for performances showcasing these talented young musicians and their new equipment!

Fine Craft Studio, Students Embark on a Year-Long Hand-Embroidery Project

Hilliard Middle-Senior High’s Fine Craft Studio I students are diving into the art of hand-embroidery! They’ve been learning essential stitches as they prepare to begin an exciting year-long project called “Stitch a Memory a Week.”

Throughout the year, each student will use their new embroidery skills to stitch a meaningful memory from their week, creating a beautiful and personal collection of embroidered moments. This hands-on project not only teaches technical skills but also encourages reflection, creativity, and self-expression.

We can’t wait to see the amazing stories these students will stitch together by the end of the year!

Introducing Our Inspiring Elementary Art Teachers

We are thrilled to highlight the incredible elementary art teachers whose positions have been made possible by the Millage funds designated for the Arts. These dedicated educators are passionate about fostering creativity and artistic expression in our students.

We invite you to watch our special video introduction of these amazing teachers and see the enthusiasm and dedication they bring to their classrooms. Their commitment to nurturing young artists is truly inspiring and a testament to the impact of the millage funding on our schools.

Stay tuned for more updates and highlights of our fantastic art programs!

Honoring 9/11 with a Musical Tribute

Amelia Island Dance Festival

The Amelia Island Dance Festival came to visit the 4th graders at Emma Love Hardee Elementary! The students were shown different types of dancing as well as learned about etiquette when watching a performance. They had an amazing time!

Experience the Art of Printmaking

6th graders in Ms. Perry’s art class at Yulee Middle had the exciting opportunity to experience the art of printmaking. They learned about the invention of linoleum and how it was soon recognized as a gainful art medium. Students had the unique chance to carve designs into rubber printmaking blocks and apply ink to create fantastic linocut artworks. Way to go Yulee Middle School!

Elementary Artist

Students at Emma Love in 3rd grade created self portraits, and described what makes them unique. 4th grade students created abstract backgrounds…step 2, coming soon! 5th grade students used their knowledge of different lines to create treasure maps.
