Calling All 4th Graders!!!
Do you have a 4th grader at Park Glen Elementary? Would they like to make one last memory with their PGE classmates before they move on…one that they will remember for the rest of their lives? 🎤🎹 🌟
Please join us for a new PGE tradition and come out to Ketos Creative Recording Studio on Friday, April 26th from 5:30pm-8:30pm to record the song “Home” by Philip Phillips and make a music video!!!🌟
This is a FREE event for all 4th grade students at PGE. Students will have an opportunity to tour the facility, test out equipment and go into an actual sound booth. The song and video will be available on Spotify and YouTube!!🤩🤩🤩

ABOUT ARTS IN EDUCATION
THIS PROGRAM IS AMAZING FOR KIDS BECAUSE THEY CAN EXPRESS THROUGH DIFFERENT ART CATEGORIES, THEY RECEIVE AWARDS FOR SUBMITTING AT THEIR SCHOOL LEVEL, ALSO THEY CAN MOVE TO DISTRICT LEVEL, STATE LEVEL AND EVEN NATIONAL.
Park Glen Elementary PTA believes all students deserve the opportunity to take part in the arts, both in school and in the community. The arts can positively affect entire school culture- especially student motivation, attitudes, and attendance- which encourages students to stay in school, succeed in school, succeed in work and succeed in life! We are committed to ensuring that every child has access to- and takes part in- high quality arts learning experiences.
