USING GLASS ARTS TO CONNECT
YOUNG PEOPLE FROM DIVERSE
CULTURAL AND ECONOMIC BACKGROUNDS
TO BETTER FUTURES.
I am excited to be partnering with Hilltop Artists in Tacoma as a part of the Community Learning Fund Grant from the Foundation for Tacoma Students (FFTS), in the Data Capacity and Capability Cohort that was established as a part of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation project to accelerate community progress.
I get the pleasure of collaborating with Hilltop Artists’ administrative staff and Teaching Artists to dig deeply and capture data to effectively assess student learning and outcomes.
Hilltop Artists has been around for 26 years, they serves over 650 students each year through their in-school, after-school, and Arts Connect glassblowing programs. Skills-based, hands-on programming - emphasizing creativity, self-expression, and team-building - provides middle and high school students with relevant tools and experiences for future success.
