The Cultural After School Adventures programs (
CASA) provide a wide array of high-quality cultural experiences to youth enrolled in these afterschool activities.
PS 5 plans to continue CAE’s CASA next year (2011-12). In addition to providing quality arts programming for students, the initiative has served as a laboratory for CAE Teaching Artists. CAE continues to work with The
Children’s Aids Society to provide students with two full terms of arts experiences: focusing on blues, blue-grass, storytelling, mime, digital photography, filmmaking and mural making. The units of study, which align with grade-level academic objectives, include related in-school sessions, as well as performances by professional artists. One of several interactive performances CAE arranged for the school was
blues guitarist Guy Davis.
