Congratulations to Miss McFarland!
Miss McFarland's lesson on ballet technique was recently identified as exemplary from a panel of content specialists through the ABC (Arts in Basic Curriculum Project) grant, and was recommended for publication on SCETV's LearningWhy website! What an honor and amazing opportunity for one of Anderson Five's arts educators. Way to go, Miss McFarland!
