FY22 Local Priorities
Art takes many forms. We appreciate drawing, painting, hand crafts, music, naturalists, travelogues, birders, and are open to considering art in all of its expressions.
The school children of Leyden are a priority for us. We encourage programs for children from Pre-K through 6th grade. Programs may be for a particular age or grade group, rather than for the whole school.
