The Kyrene school district will receive $210,000 from an Arizona Department of Education grant program to buy paints, brushes, sheet music and more for arts programs.
The money will go to teachers in arts, kindergarten and first-grade classrooms. That includes the district’s 61 arts teachers and 149 kindergarten and first-grade teachers. They will each receive $1,000.
The grant will expand and support Kyrene’s arts programming, projects and integration in all schools, according to a release.
“Middle school teachers of band, orchestra, choir, mariachi, drama and visual arts; elementary specialists in music and visual arts; and all kindergarten and first-grade teachers will collaborate with their campus principals to maximize the impact of these dollars for Kyrene students,” the release stated.
“Kyrene is honored to be selected as a recipient of the Arizona Department of Education’s Arts Consumables Grant for spring 2024,” Julie Hackmann, Kyrene visual and performing arts facilitator, said.
“Kyrene is proud to have outstanding visual and performing arts programs and this funding will ensure that students and teachers have access to high quality materials, resources and tools,” Hackmann said.
