Proud presenters at the CPAA Conference!
Today and tomorrow, the Chicago Principals and Administrators Association conference is in full swing downtown. And we’re thrilled to be there! Today we’re hanging out and sharing info about our programs; tomorrow, we are presenting a panel discussion titled “Innovation Through Arts Partnerships“, matching the conference’s overall theme of “Unleashing Innovation.” Innovation is key in our work and we’re excited to see it emphasized by CPAA.
Eric, our Executive Director, will be there tomorrow with representatives from Greeley Elementary, a Lakeview school where we’ve enjoyed a deep and inspiring partnership. Here’s the scoop:
