The life lessons that these students will obtain from this experience will be incredible.

It's a celebration of what the arts can do in public schools.

Me, too. I like to chase them and pop them.

Our mission is to give students -- in range and depth -- the kind of experience that will prepare them. It's not about getting jobs but how to come to grips with the making of art and the changes in art that will influence future audiences.

Students that come out of this experience are significantly more prepared for a job, and life in general. I am no longer afraid of what lies ahead after school.

We send students all over the world to gain experience that will be put to good use as they join the workforce and help to make U.S. agriculture more competitive. Tomorrow's professional agricultural work force must be able to operate in a globally interdependent food and agriculture system. The very best way to prepare for work in this globally competitive industry is to spend time studying or working in a foreign culture.
