Enrichment & Extracurricular Enrichment is the successful component in a child's education. Programs both inside and outside the classroom provide rich educational opportunities and help make learning fun. After School Programs in our schools help to support the needs of our Santa Fe families. With programs ranging from the arts to history to technology, and everything in between, these programs help with a child's curiosity, discovery and ultimately help foster a love of learning. More Programs The Arts The Arts have a direct impact on a child's education! 57% of children in the Santa Fe Public Schools graduate. The Arts promote creativity, learning and motivate children to a standard of excellence with gains in math, reading, critical thinking and intelligence. Students who participate in the arts are 4 times more likely to be recognized for academic achievement and 3 times more likely to be awarded for school attendance. More Programs Aspen Community Magnet School Teacher: Laura EberhardtGrades Affected: 6-8Students Affected: 47 Donate Now Goal:$400.00 Raised:$0.00 This request is for funding to purchase an Aspen Band t-shirt for every student in the Aspen MS band program. The shirt will have a student designed logo representing the band program and school. These shirts will be used for years to come. These t-shirts would be worn by band students at both school concerts and district events, such as MS band nights at the high schools and collaborative concerts. By having a shirt that identifies the program (student designed!), students feel more a part of a family and identify more strongly with the program. Remember--students who participate in music programs in high school are more likely to graduate and have higher GPA's. I believe identifying strongly with a music program in middle school will increase the number of my students who continue on in HS. Music isn't a class; it's a way of life.
