AHS students learn through improv

Thursday, May 12, 2005

On Tuesday, May 17 at 12:30 p.m., The Safe Schools Task Force at Arlington High School and the Arlington Cultural Council will sponsor an event for Grade 10 students presented by Urban Improv on Racism.

     The program will be in the Lowe Auditorium at Arlington High School. Community members are welcome to attend.

     Urban Improv is a violence prevention program for young people that uses structured theater improvisation to teach decision making, impulse control and values clarification. Now in its 13th year, Urban Improv provides interactive workshops that challenge students to deal creatively with major issues in their lives. Through the improvisational process, Urban Improv develops the skills of problem solving, conflict resolution, cooperation, and leadership.

     If you have any questions, please contact Cindy Bouvier, health coordinator for the Arlington Public Schools at 781-643-1630.
