Cómo Participar

• If applying as a team is not feasible, you’re welcome to apply as an individual.

“Los estudios encuentran que la integración de las artes con la instrucción en otras materias académicas aumenta el aprendizaje y los logros de los estudiantes y ayuda a los maestros a satisfacer de manera más efectiva las necesidades de todos los estudiantes”.
