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,
Chinese Festival
