The VSA MA Student of the Month award celebrates the accomplishments of students who have exhibited significant artistic, social or academic growth throughout their participation in the VSA MA teaching artist program. Alex received his Student of the Month certificate and a book, The Dot, by Peter Reynolds at an awards ceremony at Adams Elementary today.
Alex and his classmates participated in a dance/movement integration program with teaching artist Priscilla Harmel. Alex has demonstrated growth in artistic, academic and social skills throughout the program. Often times, sitting in a group of peers for instructional activities presents a barrier for Alex. During one of the last dance/movement sessions, Alex's teacher observed him sitting with the group in a circle and imitating motor movements with a scarf. His smile and desire to continue with this activity independently really proved how important this art residency was for the Adams Elementary school and in particular for Alex.
