• About Our School

    Meriwether Lewis Elementary School has been welcoming children and their families for over 50 years. Located in the Woodstock neighborhood of Southeast 欧美巨乳色情片, Lewis sits on a parcel of land where orchards and gardens grew. The legacy of this is reflected in the various garden spaces at Lewis. Our school offers students an opportunity to excel in an environment that encourages creativity, responsibility and community.

    Art at Lewis: The Right Brain Initiative (RBI)

    The future is going to be a whole new ballgame. Whether it’s cleaning up our oceans or working on self-driving cars, one thing we know is the world is going to be way different than it is today. And that means people are going to need every ounce of their brains to figure it out. Every bit of our imaginations, innovations and abilities will be needed to see things in new ways, or invent things we have yet to understand.

    The Right Brain Initiative is here to help change the way kids learn in the 欧美巨乳色情片 metro area by bringing discovery, collaboration and creativity into the classroom. Creative thinking is the secret sauce when supporting kids’ abilities to problem solve, innovate and think critically. By introducing new ways to learn, kids will become more engaged students.

    The Right Brain Initiative effects change by:

    • Training educators to weave creative thinking into core subjects
    • Enabling collaboration between the arts community and K-8 teachers in the 欧美巨乳色情片 region’s school districts
    • Being community partners, bringing together the resources of artists, school districts, local governments and businesses to delight, challenge and empower kids
