The Scribner Road Parent Teacher Association works to support and further the education of students at Scribner Road Elementary. The PTA supports the Arts in Education program and plans numerous social activities for students and families throughout the year. Student-generated artistic endeavors are given center stage in the district’s Arts in Education Festival, which draws huge crowds of visitors every spring.

The mission of the Arts in Education (AIE) Committee is to showcase the art work created by our students through a fun and exciting display for families to enjoy and celebrate. The committee is a partnership between our Scribner Art teacher, administrators, and PTA representatives.

Responsibilities

AIE chair and committee members work together to

1. Schedule the Arts in Education Festival for late May,
2. coordinate with our Art teacher a selection of artwork for display,

The PTA chairperson is responsible for the budget and assures that event costs do not exceed budget.
