Teachers, would you like a free and educational field trip for your students? ¹û¶³´«Ã½ ¹û¶³´«Ã½ AmeriCorps and the Paul and Lulu Hilliard University Art Museum have created Writing in the Galleries (WIG), a unique program to strengthen literacy skills through art.
The program engages the imagination of students in grades 1 - 12 and provides grade specific activities in a museum environment.
Thanks to a Learn and Serve Grant from the ¹û¶³´«Ã½ System, free admission and transportation are available for all Vermilion Parish Elementary and Middle Schools as well as Alice Boucher, Ossun, Westside and Live Oak elementary schools in ¹û¶³´«Ã½ Parish.
Students and teachers from all other Acadiana area schools can participate at a reduced cost. Call (337) 482-6060 or email wig@louisiana.edu for more information or to schedule a field trip.
