Art education develops self-esteem, appreciation of the work of others, self-expression, cooperation with others, and critical thinking skills, skills vital to the success of our future leaders --- our children … The arts enrich our lives and enrich our learning.  And the arts are a valuable learning tool that reinforces the other disciplines, like reading, writing, social studies, science and math says the Council of Art Education.  Read more about The Arts in the Hilton Central School District: The Arts
