We accomplished our 2007-2008 school year project entitled, "The Audacity of the ARTS!". Our goal was to raise the required contributions to sponsor a Fine Arts Elementary School Teacher for a public school system which for funding reasons did not have a designated fine arts teacher.
Our teacher, Emily Johnson, began teaching in the Walker County School system this semester. She will be teaching in every elementary school and in every 3rd grade class. We are so excited about this and so grateful to all of our sponsors who helped make this dream a reality!

MOTTO: "REMEMBER THE 3 R's, BUT NEVER FORGET THE A's!!
My name is Meghan Muncher. I am the Founder and Director of My A.R.T.S. Kids. I established My A.R.T.S. Kids in 2005, as a non-profit organization that provides in-school, after-school, summer programs, and fine arts scholarships for children interested in Fine Arts education.
We are now pleased to annouce that My A.R.T.S. Kids has been granted 501(C)(3) recognition by the IRS and all contributions and financial assistance are tax deductible.
My A.R.T.S. Kids is all about the the promotion of the arts to elementary school children. I believe it is necessary for fine arts to be included in school systems along with an excellent language, mathematics, and science curriculums. This will allow children additional opportunities to build self-esteem and discipline, improve character, and develop mentally.
I hope this website provides you with the Fine Arts information that will cause you to sense a call to Action, Reach-out to all children, feel the urge to Teach, and deliver the empowerment of Support that the Fine Arts deserve.
I'll be putting all sorts of Fine Arts information here for you to enjoy, so please check often! If you have any questions for us, please send an email to MEGHAN@MYARTSKIDS.ORG
