Cultural Arts Resources

Welcome to the Cultural Arts Committee page!

Cultural Arts Committee is led by parent volunteers facilitating New Eagle’s grade level artistic, scientific, technological, musical programs and assemblies as well as exploring cultural curriculum through celebrations including Japanese Day, Chinese Festival, and African Storytelling and drummer presentations.

Thank you for supporting the programs we offer through your generous donations to the PTO and via the online auction, we couldn’t do this without you! If you have any questions, or would like to get involved with the committee, please email us at vpculturalarts@neweaglepto.org

Do you know that the New Eagle PTO spends over $14,000 on Cultural Arts events through the school year? This funding comes from fundraising events like the Auction, parent and family donations and matching gifts. Without this funding, New Eagle students would have a great but not extraordinary education. New Eagle teachers love the Cultural Arts Events for the richness that these events bring to the curriculum. Please support Cultural Arts and all PTO activities with a donation.

Thank you,

The Cultural Arts Committee
Programs from 2021-2022 include:
Tipi Raising
Beekeeping Demonstration

Chinese Festival

Japan Day
Mother Goose
Author visits
and so much more!
Below please find links to some of the programs that were featured in the 2020-21 school year.
Please remember when you leave the New Eagle PTO website, New Eagle PTO is not responsible for the content or the accuracy of information found on other web sites.
