PREVIEW: The Arts Effect Podcast

The Fine Arts Department has released a podcast, The Arts Effect. Tune in at https://anchor.fm/ray-lavan. 

 

In the body of education, the fine arts is its soul. It encompasses all disciplines and subjects. It teaches our students love, compassion, understanding, and teamwork. It allows our students to express themselves in the purest form, even when words will not suffice or cannot describe their feelings. This podcast is an informational and advocacy platform for the Goose Creek ISD Fine Arts Program in Baytown, TX. It will feature student and teacher interviews, as well as share the importance of the arts in education today.
