Music & Arts Festival

Did you know that the arts are enriched with the stuff kids need to succeed? “Studies have shown that involvement in the arts helps kids increase test scores and promotes academic achievement. Kids who are involved in the arts are:

• 4 times more likely to be recognized for academic achievement
• 3 times more likely to be elected to class office within their schools
• 4 times more likely to participate in a math and science fair
• 3 times more likely to win an award for school attendance

So, why not get them involved in the 4-H Music & Arts Festival. It’s a fantastic opportunity to bring more of the arts and all they can do to your kids. It’s simple to do and yet a great way to “learn by doing.” The 4-H Music & Arts Festival is scheduled for March 10th. Musical group registrations are due March 2nd and art can be brought in the day of the event. See the February  Cloverline newsletter for more details.
