    Feed Your Kids the Arts
     
    The arts are enriched with the stuff kids need to succeed. Just like kids need to have good nutrition on a daily basis, kids need to have their daily serving of the arts. Studies have shown that involvement in the arts helps kids increase test scores and promotes academic achievement. Kids who are involved in the arts are:

        * 4 times more likely to be recognized for academic achievement
        * 3 times more likely to be elected to class office within their schools
        * 4 times more likely to participate in a math and science fair
        * 3 times more likely to win an award for school attendance
