What parents are saying about ART’s innovative teaching resources and school programs...

“Please accept this letter as a small gesture of my appreciation of a truly enjoyable experience. As a parent of four, I've attended my share of concerts, and while all were equally wonderful, none have been so full of energy and enthusiasm from the students. They were a joy to watch and listen to. When Mrs. Porte first presented the possibility to me I will admit to having concerns that this was a complete pro-environment, anti-logging, anti-oil etc venture. I was thrilled to be mistaken. The messages that the audience heard and the students learned were lessons that apply to all areas of our daily lives. Respect, for all things. As a Parent Advisory Council member I see this as money well spent. What an experience for the kids! I support fundraising for opportunities like this one.  As a School Trustee I thank you for giving the students the chance to participate in this program and to be able to learn so eagerly what you taught them about our world, our ocean-which we live so close to but likely don't understand nearly well enough-and our role in preserving it all. Keep up the great work, and we'd love to see you again!” (Tina Last, Lax Kxeen School, Prince Rupert, 2005)

“On behalf of the Panorama School Parent Advisory Council, I would like to thank you for the outstanding Voices of Nature concert. Our children will be singing and thinking about these songs for months to come. We as a PAC have had nothing but positive feedback from parents, teachers and students.”   (Carolyn MacTaggart, PAC Treasurer, Panorama School, Coquitlam, 2005)
