My name is Fred DeMarco and this is my 17th year teaching art at Olive-Mary Stitt Elementary. Joining me this year is Mrs. Alyssa Maloney from Patton Elementary. She teaches K-1, K-2, K-3, K-4, and 2-4. Did you know a few decades ago Arlington Heights School District 25 didn't have an art program? Art was taught by classroom teachers in their rooms. Today, after a referendum and much effort, the arts thrive in 25. Each building has a dedicated art room and art is taught by an art specialist, individuals trained not only in art theory and practice but education and child development as well.
