This week's episode is a reflection of an artist residency at Madison Elementary School. Vic Caldwell, spoken word artist, worked with 3rd grade students to build their confidence and increase their connection with the classic Peter Pan story. Artist residencies play an integral role in Turnaround Arts: Des Moines by increase students engagement, social and emotional learning skills, and student belonging and thriving. Our community artists support students to find their voice and passion with the arts. Enjoy!
