Fine Arts Education Day Inspires Conroe ISD Students
Conroe ISD fourth-grade students recently attended Fine Arts Education Day at The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion, where they experienced the excitement of a live performance by the Houston Symphony.
The annual event gives students an opportunity to hear orchestral music up close, learn more about the instruments of the orchestra, and participate in an engaging fine arts experience outside the classroom. We are grateful for this continued partnership and the opportunity it provides our students to experience the arts in a memorable way. See more photos of the event.
