In honor of National Arts in Education Week, here are some fun facts of the
day! Did you know that in a recent survey, 72% of business leaders said
that CREATIVITY was a skill that they were looking for with potential
employees?! Innovation, creative problem-solving, and thinking outside
the box are all part of creativity that we use in art classes. Music
education prepares students to learn. Music education readies students for
learning by helping to develop their basic mental skills and capacities.
Music instruction impacts learning by enhancing fine motor skills,
preparing the brain for achievement, fostering superior working memory, and
cultivating better thinking skills.

*First Lego League Robotics and Research team announcement*
Does helping to find a solution to a real-world problem sound interesting?
Would you like to work with your friends and classmates to research, share
and present your solution to this problem? Does the idea of using Legos to
build and program a robot to move, grab, push, pull or carry things on a
game board sounds like fun? If so, then *First Lego League Robotics and
Research* team is for you!
This year, there will be two teams, new faces to help coach and mentor the
teams, including a high school senior who was part of the RedRaider
Robotics team that competed in the FIRST Robotics world competition in St.
Louis last April!
Please turn in your application to the office by the end of the day,
Thursday, September 14th. The members of the teams will be announced on
Monday, September 18th. Good luck!
*Health Tip*
We all know that Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It is
also the meal that many students skip. Studies show that students
especially teenagers who eat breakfast are more attentive in class, have
more energy, and are less likely to be overweight than their peers who
don’t eat breakfast. So, grab some cereal, yogurt, a piece of fruit,
protein bar, or a peanut butter sandwich and have the best learning
possible this school year!
