The Arts

The Arts. We teach through the Arts. It is the story of our success.

Miller South again has earned an EXCELLENT rating on our school report card because of our Arts Integration. You can be so proud of these students. By finding the key to their engagement, we are meeting our goal.

But without the support of the levy, schools in Akron stand to lose the arts - visual arts, music, dance - these programs that make a difference. These seem to be considered 'the extras'. At Miller South we consider them the key to academic success.

Students need a full curriculum ~ all the subjects ~ to succeed. Vote Yes on Issue 6 to keep a full curriculum. Our middle schools have already lost their foreign language programs. Our classrooms are full. We've lost valuable staff that are desperately needed to service our children's needs. As we lose teachers and programs and are prevented from supplying the students with textbooks and materials they need how can we expect these children to succeed? Yet Akron Public Schools manage to keep rising to the occassion. We are doing our part -- Please help and Vote Yes on Issue 6.

Have questions? Please Ask!
Not sure your vote counts? Yes! It Does?
Call a Friend and be sure they are voting!

The levy only failed by a small margin last time -- Be The Difference! Go In and Vote!
Vote to make Columbus as strong as it can be and Supportive of EDUCATION! It will make a stronger Ohio!
