The Horizons Unlimited Program
|
Through the district’s Horizons Unlimited Program local teaching artists, and teaching specialists, often work directly in classrooms to connect their talents and passions within classroom experiences. From the progressive sing-alongs in kindergarten, ballroom dancing, Shakespeare, comedy, cartooning, to upper grade level performance-based opportunities, students are seeing the possibilities for positive self-expression through the visual and performing arts. Their future horizons, are unlimited.
In the Murrieta Unified Unified School District, connecting artists and district teaching specialists in the arts, within local site experiences, fosters and develops positive connections across multiple disciplines.
