While developing our educational programming at Public Service Park, we have challenged ourselves to find a way to reach all styles of learning. We have incorporated history, technology, chemistry, math, and English into the structured field trip. The one subject that Public Service Park has been missing is art.
Art in education has been proven to make a tremendous impact on the developmental growth of every child and has proven to help level the “learning field” across socio-economic boundaries. With this in mind, the District has added three new limestone relief carvings to Public Service Park, sculpted by local artists Karen Heyl and Allan Nairn. Each sculpture has an accompanying lesson in the Field Notebook that the students carry with them as part of the field trip to the site, making each sculpture a unique interactive feature that encompasses art as an educational medium. The power of art in education has limitless potential!
All three sculptures have been 100% funded by private dollars. The Sanitation District would like to thank all contributors for their continued support of our educational outreach efforts. Click here to view a list of contributors who helped fund these three new educational features.
