Straight Talk with Mike Gimbel Spotlights SALA
The Summer Arts for Learning Academy (SALA) is making a splash in Baltimore City this summer—and the community is taking notice! Earlier this month, Arts for Learning Maryland President & CEO Stacie Sanders Evans joined WBFF-TV’s Straight Talk with Mike Gimbel to introduce SALA and its unique arts-integrated approach to summer learning.
As Stacie said in the interview, “SALA brings inspiring, amazing artists into our classrooms who work with teachers to reinforce students’ literacy and math learning in a different way—through arts integration. SALA nurtures students’ creativity and imagination, and sends them back to school performing better academically.”
Check out the interview here. SALA kicks off this summer on July 1st for thousands of Baltimore City Public Schools students. Learn more about the program here.
