Thank you, Mr. President. We are honored on this first day of Council back to recognize the week of September 9th to the 15th as Arts in Education Week. I want to thank all the members of the Education Committee for being here and for us being able to make this Stated Meeting September 13, 2018

Whereas, we all know that arts education -- I'm a product of arts education -- comprises a rich array of disciplines including dance, music, theatre, media arts, literature, design, and visual arts, and is a core academic subject which changes young people's lives and an essential element for a complete and balanced education for all students; and

Whereas, arts education enables students to develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills, imagination and creativity, discipline and collaboration, alternative ways to communicate and express feelings and ideas, and cross-cultural understanding, which supports academic success across the curriculum; and

Whereas, arts education contributes to increased attendance and graduation rates, and Stated Meeting September 13, 2018 achievement; and Whereas, arts education encourages personal growth outside of the classroom, including increasing a student's likelihood to participate in civic life, volunteerism, altruism, and community engagement; and

Whereas, today's economy requires students to masterfully develop creative traits that business leaders demand in a 21st century workforce such as communicating through words, images, sounds, and movement; and

Whereas, the arts are an integral part of life in the United States, Pennsylvania and Philadelphia, and are an integral part of a complete education which contributes to the vibrancy and vitality of communities and the nation; and

Whereas, the City of Philadelphia's Office of Arts, Culture and the Creative Economy observes National Arts in Education Week Stated Meeting September 13, 2018 Art student exhibition, featuring the work from more than 200 students from our public schools from across the City.

Now, therefore, be it resolved, that the City Council does hereby recognize the week of September 11 through 17 -- well, it's really this week -- as Arts in Education Week in Philadelphia. Further resolved, that an engrossed copy of this resolution be presented to the Arts, Culture and Creative Economy as a sincere expression of the City Council of Philadelphia's gratitude to honor this occasion. And this is certainly signed by the President and agreed to by everyone. Thank you. (Applause.)

And the Chair recognizes Ms. Lee for remarks.

On behalf of the Office of Arts, Culture and the Creative Stated Meeting September 13, 2018 Economy, and our whole team is here, we'd like to thank members of City Council for the designation of this week as Arts in Education Week in Philadelphia. It has been so well documented that the students who have access to arts education are five times more likely to graduate, 30 percent more likely to aspire to college, and are more civically-minded and engaged in their communities. City Council's ongoing support of arts education is integral to this positive impact on Philadelphia students. The Office of Arts, Culture and the Creative Economy invites all of you to continue the celebration of Arts in Education Week in Philadelphia this evening at the opening reception of the Ninth Annual A-Plus Arts Student Exhibition from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. in Conversation Hall. The exhibition features over 200 artworks from K through 12 students, representing all ten Council Stated Meeting September 13, 2018 districts, and recognizes the arts as a vital part of a well-rounded education. Thank you again, City Council, for all of your support and declaring this week Arts in Education Week in Philadelphia. Thank you. (Applause.)

Council will be at ease. (Council at ease.)

Thank you. Our next order of business is communications, and the Chair requests that the Sergeant-of-Arms delivers the messages from the Mayor to the Chief Clerk. Mr. Decker, when you get ready, please read those messages.
