Multi-Arts Programs

Why does Green Lake support a strong Multi-Arts program?
Green Lake's PTA proudly supports vocal music for all students, instrumental music for grades 4 and 5, an after-school arts class, the Green Lake Drama Dragons (open to all grades), and a variety of arts-enriched assemblies throughout the school year. Why? Music and the Fine Arts have been a significant portion of every culture’s educational system for more than 3,000 years. The Arts are the only way humans learn and judge other cultures or ages. The human brain has been shown to be “hard-wired” for music; there is a biological basis for music being an important part of human experience. Music and the Arts surround daily life in our present day culture. Most present day artists, architects, and musicians acquired their interests during public school Fine Arts classes. Only by continuing to allow students to explore these ways of learning will this portion of the economy continue to grow. Education without the Fine Arts is fundamentally impoverished and subsequently leads to an impoverished society. |

Instrumental Music
Green Lake has always supported instrumental music, for 4th and 5th graders. Our kids have access to some of the best high school music programs in the nation, at Roosevelt and Garfield High Schools, and we are able to get them started on the right foot! Read more
Vocal music
Our PTA and staff work closely to see that each child and their class receive vocal music instruction (funded by the PTA) from Ms. Auna Stewart. Ms. Stewart provides instruction to our kids in a variety of musical styles, vocal techniques and musical concepts, thereby broadening the kids' musical experience. Her instruction over the course of the school year culminates in a concert in the spring featuring every class and child. Read more
On-Site Art Program
Kindergarten through fifth grade students receive 500 minutes of art instruction per month.
