CASE Kids’ Day at Hobby Center Provides Venue for Exploring Fine Arts

Disponible en:

Students enrolled in summer programs from the Cooperative for After-School Enrichment (CASE) from 10 area schools performed at the famed Hobby Center for the Performing Arts for Kids’ Day. The kids worked with local artists at their schools this summer in programs provided by Harris County Department of Education’s CASE projects. They showed off their skills in hip-hop and jazz dancing, puppetry, video, drumming and more.

CASE Kids’ Day Projects are career-based projects that connect after-school students to real-world experiences. With established curriculum, Kids’ Days give students opportunities to work with professionals in math, science, technology and the arts. Corporations can get involved by calling (713) 696-1357.

Districts that participated in Kids’ Day at Hobby Center included Aldine, Alief, Galena Park, Pearland, Pasadena, Sheldon, Waller and charter schools Southwest and YES Prep.

The programs are now out for summer but parents can find after-school programs for their children in the upcoming school year by going to the CASE website.
