Strong community support makes a strong school, and that Arts Magnet has.
Parents lend a hand in field trips, fundraising, logo design, and school-wide events.
Neighbors and area merchants also show their support for the school, from helping to fill the penny jar during the annual Penny Drive, to volunteering, to keeping an eye out for the children's safety. As a school we have a strong sense of belonging in this community.
