Parent's Voice Matters to DBAE

🎙️ Join DBAE Family Voice: Where Your Voice Matters! 🎨

At Do & Be Arts Academy of Excellence, we believe that parents/guardians are a vital part of our community. That’s why we created DBAE Family Voice—a safe and welcoming space for parents/guardians to share their concerns, thoughts, and suggestions.

What is DBAE Family Voice?

It's important to note that our DBAE Family Voice committee functions similarly to a Parent-Teacher Association (PTA). Just like PTAs in other schools, our committee serves as the primary platform for parents/guardians to engage with the school community. We share the same duties and responsibilities as traditional parent associations, ensuring that every parent’s voice is heard and valued.

As founding parents/guardians, your insights and ideas are invaluable in shaping the future of our school. Whether you have a concern to address, a suggestion to improve our community, or just want to connect with other parents/guardians, DBAE Family Voice is here to listen and collaborate.

In many schools, parent committees focus on fostering communication between families and school staff, organizing events, and advocating for students' needs. Similarly, our DBAE Family Voice committee aims to strengthen the relationship between parents and the school, creating a vibrant and supportive environment for all.

📲 Want to get involved? Scan our QR code to learn more and join today. OR Head to: https://form.jotform.com/243025220082138 Together, we can make a difference and ensure our school reflects the heart of its community!

📅 Also, mark your calendars! Our 1st DBAE Family Voice meeting will be taking place March 25th from 6 pm to 7 pm. via Zoom. Hope to see you there!

We are on a Mission to a Brighter Future: Operation 222:

Help Us Reach Our Goal of $222,222

We are launching a fundraising campaign with the goal of raising $222,222 to ensure the success and sustainability of our arts-integrated programs. These funds will go directly to enhancing our classroom experiences, providing professional development for our teachers, purchasing new materials, and supporting extracurricular opportunities that connect students to the arts in meaningful ways.

Why Arts Integration Matters

Studies consistently show that arts education boosts academic performance and helps students develop essential skills for the future. According to the National Endowment for the Arts, students engaged in arts programs are 4 times more likely to be recognized for academic achievement and 3 times more likely to be elected to class office. Furthermore, arts-integrated learning improves student outcomes in other subjects like math and literacy, with research showing that students exposed to arts education are 72% more likely to improve in overall academic performance.

But the benefits go beyond grades. Arts integration nurtures well-rounded individuals. It helps students become more resilient, empathetic, and collaborative. They gain confidence in their creative abilities, develop a lifelong appreciation for the arts, and are better prepared for the rapidly changing world of work.

How Your Donation Will Make a Difference

To continue offering the transformative arts-integrated education our students deserve, we need your help. Every contribution, large or small, will directly support our efforts to provide an exceptional education that equips students with the skills they need to succeed in the future.

Together, we can help students unlock their potential and set them on a path to lifelong success. Join us in making this vision a reality. Donate today and be a part of something truly special. Your gift will make all the difference.
