Integrated Arts?

The Integrated Arts is a model designed to offer support, extension, and supplementary experiences in content areas through interdisciplinary arts activities. The Common Core Standards' emphasis on developing depth and rigor in thought and the ability to communicate relevant information with increasing skill provides the necessary impetus for this model. Content will be viewed through many lenses, allowing the entirety of relevant ideas to be processed and applied broadly and with added depth. Work with visual arts, music, drama, literature, writing, technology, and design will be incorporated and collaboration with classroom teachers will be ongoing. As Yeats wrote, "Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire". The Integrated Arts is an opportunity to light a very purposeful, very directed fire.

Music Memory Champion!



The Del Mar Heights Music Memory Champion for 2013-2014 is L.M. from Sixth Grade. She achieved a perfect score in identifying sixteen pieces of classical music and recalling their composers as well. She was the only participant to earn a perfect score in our multi-staged tournament. Her name is etched upon The Golden Ukelele for posterity. In coming years other champions will be named, but there can be only one first champion. Congratulations L.M.!
