We need well rounded citizens who use their imagination to solve our world’s problems

"The arts play a very important role in our lives affording students an opportunity to think creatively and look at the world in a broader, more enlightened manner. In the 21st century and during the era of No Child Left Behind, it is even more important to include the arts in the education of our nation’s youth. If we are going to be on the cutting edge of a global economy, we need well rounded citizens who use their imagination to solve our world’s problems. Arts are one way to insure that America remains an Imagine Nation."
