    -Artist Trading Cards: a program that will combine our Family Reading Nights with art activities. Students and parents will be invited to come create their own original, mini-artworks. Once completed you can choose to either keep the cards, trade them, or give them away as gifts.

    -Arts and Humanities After School Program: open to any South Todd student with written permission and a     ride home. Students will perform in front of an audience or create a temporary art gallery to show off their     visual art, drama, dance or music work from our after school activities.  We will meet once a week for 1 hour, starting in September.

I am very excited for the new school year to begin because some wonderful adventures are planned! There are two new Arts and Humanities programs that will start this year:
