BTS Arts is working to integrate licensed arts educators into Bountiful Elementary to support everyday learning. According to a notice from the school, the program aims to help students connect with subjects like math, reading, and history through creative and hands-on experiences.
The program places qualified arts educators in more than 460 schools across Utah. This integration allows students to create, perform, or make something while working through standard curriculum topics such as math problems, stories, or history lessons.
Mrs. Montano, an educator at Bountiful Elementary, stated that the program is having a significant impact on students at the school and provides hands-on human connection.
Families interested in the program can subscribe to the BTS newsletter for more information. The school also encourages supporters to advocate for the program by writing to legislators to help maintain funding for Utah schools.
