“I’m very excited that our kids will have access to all this amazing programming at The Grand. And the classroom workshops beforehand mean they get even more out of the experience. I’ve heard students talk about past trips to The Grand for months after they went.” Barbara Beyer, PTF.

2018-19 PAC & Outreach Review

The Grand Education Team recently celebrated their second year of a partnership started in 2017 that brings Ellsworth students to the Grand for live performances at a fee of only $3 a student. The PAC (Performing Arts for Children) Outreach also connects classroom curriculum with the event through a Grand outreach educator. The Ellsworth Elementary and Middle School PTF has generously paid for student tickets since the partnership began.
