|  | | |  | A Season for the Arts: Finding Harmony at Howard As we enter a spectacular season for the arts at The Howard School, we are proud of the amazing productions in the last two weeks from our students, with more to come before the end of the school year. From the energy of Middle School's production of, "The Brothers Grimm Spectaculathon," where our scholars showcased incredible stage presence, to our Lower School students who shone during this week’s Music Invitational, the talent on campus is inspiring. At Howard, the arts are inclusive opportunities for every student to explore their creativity, build confidence, and develop essential life skills. Whether it is the upcoming High School Evening of the Arts on Tuesday, May 5, or the Lower and Middle School Talent Show on the final day of school, Friday, May 22, our students find unique ways to express their strengths and reinforce the cognitive skills that support lifelong learning. To explore why these experiences make a significant difference for our students, read our latest blog post "How Music Education Supports Language-Based Learning Differences and Dyslexia." |
