"Woodchopper's Ball" watercolor by Jee-Shaun Wang, MKHS, class of 2008. 2nd place winner of the Adam Schiff 29th Congressional District Arts Comeptition 2008.
47% of music and arts classes have been cut since 2005 in all Alhambra USD schools, K-8th grade. Jee-Shaun began his visual arts training in AUSD elementary school and had the advantage of outsourced additional training from his sister. But today, with no full-time visual arts teachers and no-equal access in AUSD elementary classes from K-8th grade, award winning art such as this is not likely. Beginning art in high school is better-late-than-never, but it is too late for maximum artistic benefits, brain development and a well-rounded education of students.

introduction
Music and other Arts are no longer extra curricular and optional.The Federal government states that music and other arts are core-academic subjects. PMA/SMA is a combined effort of local parents, students and community leaders. We band together as a powerful arts and civil rights advocacy to restore and expand music and all arts for all with equal access. Through PMA/SMA, your voice will be heard and together, we will advocate on behalf of student rights under the protection of the U.S. Constitution.Download our arts flyer at the following links:
