Great Things Happening at Dixie.....

We are excited to have Inspectors Craig Williams and Donny Maelstrom  from the Tyler Police Department Crime Scene Unit present an interactive program to the Science Club and upper grades.

 


Dixie Elementary was chosen to receive dance instruction during the school day by School of Ballet Tyler. 

The enrichment program at Dixie will be taught by professional dancers.  The styles of dance taught will be Ballet, Jazz, Modern and Hip Hop.  Students will finish the class with an appreciation for the discipline of dance as well as understanding the benefits of exercise as part of a healthy lifestyle. Studies have shown that the use of fine arts in the schools increases test performance and children show an improved self esteem.  Dixie will be using the program as an incentive and reward for selected children.    It is our hope that the use of dance will benefit the children physically and emotionally. It is designed to be hard work, rewarding and fun! 

Students will present a performance at the end of the year.
