Our mission at Lamar Reese
School of the Arts is to demonstrate the successful
application of written and spoken performance standards
while exploring and perfecting students' gifts and talents
through dance, art, music, strings, and drama in a safe,
orderly environment. Through a unified effort of family
and community involvement, students will become
respectful, productive citizens in an ever-changing world.
Specialized, advanced arts classes, including piano,
violin, ballet, jazz, tap, and tinkling are offered to
students in the third through fifth grades who maintain
acceptable academic progress. The basis of our magnet
educational program is the integration of visual arts,
performing arts, and technology and a standards-based
curriculum using discipline-based arts education (DBAE)
research practices that impact student achievement. DBAE
enables students to attain higher levels of performance,
critical thinking and aesthetic judgment. The faculty and
staff welcome the challenge of providing opportunities for
children to learn through the theoretic concepts of Howard
Gardner's Multiple Intelligences.
At Lamar Reese, children are
exposed to professional artists in all arts genres and
perform in special events that help to strengthen school
spirit. We ask families to get involved to make the
occasions complete. Finally, each PTA meeting highlights a
grade level team in a creative arts production. These
productions are presented throughout the school year.Admission to the magnet
program is by application on a space-available basis. All
students residing in the local attendance area continue to
be served. Students who apply are encouraged to have an
interest in the arts and maintain high academic
achievement along with active parental participation.
Uniforms are mandatory.
