SCHOOL + DISTRICT PARTNERS
“The district reached out to Cammy Truong, executive director of L.A. Arts Group, about connecting their students with artists who could teach other disciplines. Ms. Truong then took the lead in coordinating and scheduling teaching artists…In a single year, second, third and fourth graders at Mountain View received expanded offerings in the visual and performing arts that exposed them to new skills and art forms.”
