Attached are  the summer art academy class options this year for art and music, I wanted to pass them along to you.  We will be offering  elementary art academy for the students grade 1-5 from 9-12 noon the week of July 27-31 and then middle school art academy runs from 1-4 pm  in the week of August 3-7 at UW-Baraboo/Sauk County 

Our Middle School Art academy offerings  include lots of the visual arts classes, but added some music opportunities for students currently in grades 5-8.  I am really excited about the Middle School  swing choir class we call Boo U Glee  and the May Songwriting and Pop Piano classes.

I have included links to flyers for the summer programs.  The May songwriting and pop piano class information can be found below.
