Empower your students with Math and The Arts!

LBC partners with Windsor Unified on exciting Professional Development day

Educators know that when kids decide “I’m not good at math” at an early age, the struggle remains throughout their educational career. This is why we’re excited to work with Windsor Unified School District in a co-created arts integration training focused on Math and The Arts. The three-part training will be held at Windsor High School in April and educators will have the option to select from stand-alone workshops in Math, Dance and Theatre; Math and Visual Art; or Math and Music—or participate in all three! Each of these three

On a harrowing road trip through the South, John’s eyes and mind are opened to the injustices of segregation and racism, inspiring him to take action. As John meets Rosa Parks and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and ultimately becomes a leader and American hero himself, Jayden learns how he can be become a leader, too.
