Some of the past Carson Valley Arts Council mini-grants have supported music curriculum at Pinon Hills and Jacks Valley Elementary Schools, clay extruder and musical equipment at Douglas High School and Missoula Children’s Theatre at Meneley, Jacks Valley, Piñon Hills, Scarselli elementary schools. Minden, Carson Valley Arts Council also provides special musical assemblies by their concert series performers at local elementary schools each year.
Carson Valley Arts Council, Executive Director Sharon Schlegel presented a $400 check to Pau-Wa-Lu Middle School teachers, Bailey Steward and Allison Meyer for art supplies and equipment for the new ceramics classes.
