We are wrapping up⭐ National Arts In Education Week ⭐ with a testimonial from Amy Mason, the former principal of Madison County Elementary School. She was named Alabama's 2021 NAESP National Distinguished Principal by the Alabama Association of Elementary School Administrators (AAESA).
"My participation in the band program from grades 4-12 solidified my love and appreciation for music. As a drum major during my senior year, it prepared me to lead large groups of people on and off the field which eventually prepared me to become a teacher and elementary school principal for 22 years!" #BecauseOfArtsEd

⭐National Arts In Education Week⭐ today features a testimonial from Dana M. Gillis, Senior Facilitator at Transcend – The Fearless Company.
"Every day I spent as an organizational leader, an Army officer, federal investigator, or businessperson, I drew on the lessons I learned as a student musician. I learned the value of teamwork and the heights you can reach when you join others to achieve a goal. By being inspired, I learned how to inspire others. I would not be the person I am today without all I learned from teachers dedicated to introducing students like me to the joy of making music." #BecauseOfArtsEd

⭐National Arts In Education Week⭐ is a celebration recognizing the transformative power of the arts in education. Today we feature a testimonial from retired orthopedic surgeon Dr. F. Calame Sammons M.D.. Dr. Sammons is a member of the band The Unorthodocs.
"My first immersion in Art was at Vanderbilt University. I needed a “good” grade to help get into medical school. I decided to enroll in an Art History course. It opened my eyes to evaluating, interpreting, and appreciating all art, from cave drawings to the Italian Masters.
I believe that it helped me to develop similar skills in evaluating patients in my Orthopedic practice. What you see on the outside may not tell the whole story.
You need to dig deeper. Medicine is an Art, not just a science." #BecauseOfArtsEd

I'm a believer in adding the A (Arts) to STEM education to make it STEAM." #BecauseOfArtsEd

How has the art education you received made a difference in your life?
"I remember going to see a gallery show when I was in middle school that blew me away. The sculptures invoked questions in my mind and impressed me with the quality of workmanship. I never forgot that feeling of being in awe of how something was made and what it meant to me symbolically. I pursued a degree in studio art in college because the creative process and implementation made complete sense to me on Day 1. In every art class, I was able to think creatively and grow upon my successes and failures from the prior classes. This process gave me the capabilities to become an entrepreneur. To know that if I keep working, and learn from my failures, I could make something beautiful and/or functional."
