“2nd grade students from Ladera Palma on their first day of their artist residency.”
The La Habra City School District continues to open doors to learning through the visual and performing arts (VAPA). This year we partnered with Segerstrom Center for the Arts to bring in theater artists and musicians to work with our elementary students and teachers. Our third-grade students recently completed a theater arts residency with Peter Kors. Teachers were delighted to see their students discover their speaking and stage presence skills while gaining a deeper understanding of the core content. Second grade students across the district will experience a six-week music residency program with Megan Hook or Beth Susseman. Both artists use the piano and song to help students express their ideas and retell stories.
