Our elementary schools do not have art teachers on staff. The Interurban Center for the Arts (sponsored by the Green River College Foundation) loans our school, and many others, enough large art prints and research information for each classroom to have an art presentation once per month from October thru May. The Glenridge PTO is our sponsor and pays the fee for the loan of these materials.
Art docent volunteers are parents, grandparents, friends of students, community members and senior citizen volunteers. Free training courses are given at Green River College by the Interurban Center for the Arts. We also have training at Glenridge. The art docents have learned basic art concepts to teach the children. They have also learned how to present an art project that will reinforce what they have discussed with the children.
Did you know that a lot of museums in the Seattle-Tacoma area have FREE admission days? They do! Check out this list of free admission days.
