During this period, teachers of the Arts have taken different approaches to prove the worth of their discipline. Some have created rigorous written curriculum, power points and terms, then a test, but the few and best have found a way to incorporate rigorous lessons with higher order thinking (which is about creativity at its core) to make developing students creativity the heart of their teaching style. When this is done successfully, it is a win-win for students and fellow staff. When a student learns to think and be creative it naturally flows into every area of their life, including other academic areas.

Ellen Zornes on walking: My two cents worth... J.D. & Ellen Zornes speak as one on favorite place to walk: Their own New Columbia neighborhood, where they are protected by their great dog Lucy Toons. But on tracking activity, they are a divided family. She uses Harlovian metrics, his way is Mitzian. It's only a difference which unites them, however, as they are united on one principle: " . . . no matter which way it's measured, walking anywhere in our beautiful community is great exercise and time well spent! Click on headline to learn more By Ellen Zornes On favorite walking areas, I think the Wizard of Oz Scarecrow (Squarecrow) said it best, pointing, "This way is a very nice way."

We are so fortunate to live amongst such beauty everywhere we turn...hills, valleys, trees, wildflowers, creeks even meadows. Or take the downtown route, walking our one of a kind historic square.
