San Francisco Arts Education Day
Grattan Speaker Series: Tim Redmond
11:00 AM - 1:00 PM
This September Grattan School is launching an ongoing evening lecture program - The Grattan Speaker Series - featuring locally and nationally renown authors, educators, activists and thinkers, and focused on themes that resonate with San Francisco families, neighbors and concerned citizens across the City.
The first event in the series will feature Tim Redmond, Executive Editor, The San Francisco Bay Guardian. Come hear Tim Redmond - San Francisco's media lightning rod - as he reviews the decisions facing voters this fall and opines on the candidates' positions and the direction our City is headed.
The talks will be held in the school's auditorium and a suggested donation of $10 will be asked for at the door, with all proceeds benefiting the school. No one will be turned away.

The 3rd Annual Arts Education Resource Fair
3:00 PM - 5:00 PM
Davies Symphony Hall, 201 Van Ness Avenue
Who is invited? All SFUSD principals, teachers, parents, district administration, district arts staff and the public is invited. The 70 newly appointed Elementary Arts Coordinators are also required to attend this event. Also, the Board of Education, Board of Supervisors, Arts Commissioners, Department of Children, Youth and Their Families, the Superintendent and the Mayor.
Why are we doing this event? Several reasons:
1) The Mayor is proclaiming September 28, 2006 San Francisco Arts Education Day.
2) The SFUSD will be launching their Arts Education Master Plan that morning at a press conference, and the fair will salute the district's new arts education initiative calling for quality, sequential arts learning experience for every school, every student, every day.
3) The last two years doing this event demonstrated the need in the community to have a one-stop-shop to meet and greet arts educators, arts organizations and professional artists working in schools. This event is held at the beginning of the school year in order to highlight the value of arts learning as teachers and principals begin to plan programming for the year.
4) Prop H is infusing new dollars into the district specifically for arts education programs. This fair will help teachers and principals ascertain which programs will be most useful and effective in meeting their arts education needs.
5) As part of Prop H allocations, every elementary school in the SFUSD will have an Arts Coordinator. This individual is part of the school staff and receives a stipend to coordinate all site-based arts programs. This fair is an opportunity to introduce these coordinators to the wealth of arts education resources available to them, and to honor them for the work they will be doing to bring more community arts programs to their school sites.
