Why The Arts Matter looks at various art programs across the state and the positive impact they have on thousands of public school students each year. From elementary-age kids learning to ballroom dance, to slam poetry competitions and creative music education, see how children benefit when schools make the arts matter.

This film and its accompanying panel discussion are part of a special event series between News Channel Nebraska and Nebraska Loves Public Schools. The event is free and open to the public. The event will also bring together community partners to connect parents, teachers, and community members with the efforts to increase empathy and awareness for our families in our school communities. The goal of this event series encourages others to continue support for public schools.

Join the conversation about public schools in Nebraska. Use #ILovePublicSchools when sharing on Twitter and Facebook.

Special thanks to David City Public Schools for its support of this program.
