September 11-17, 2022 is National Arts in Education Week! This week provides us a time to recognize all teachers who support the fine arts in their classrooms, including our fine arts teachers, directors, and coaches and those who utilize methods to encourage creativity in their lesson plans. This year, we invite you to post a shoutout on Instagram or Facebook to an educator who has made a significant creative impact on your life. Use the hashtags #ArtsEdWeek or #BecauseOfArtsEd and if you recognize a Harrisburg staff member, be sure to use #TigerBest. Links are included below to easily access the Arts in Ed Week social media filters. A huge shout out to our fine arts teachers, directors, and coaches! ๐พ
