Studio ArtistThroughout the school year, Melanie Liss, an amazing artist and former Mary Meyer School parent, is our Studio Artist and part time member of our faculty. In cooperation with our curriculum and in collaboration with our teachers, Melanie works with students in both small and large groups on a variety of creative projects.
Theater ResidencyBeginning each winter and lasting through spring, a theater professional comes to Mary Meyer School to work with small groups of children each week. Our young actors perform dramatic recreations of stories. Skills like creative thinking, gross motor, cooperation, language and vocabulary, story comprehension and sequence and confidence are further developed during this time.
Music ResidencyEach Fall and again in the Spring, Susan Salidor, a talented songwriter, singer and performing artist, joins Mary Meyer School students weekly. Susan inspires our young musicians by introducing musical concepts, new songs, instruments and movement activities.
Yoga ResidencyEach winter, a yoga teacher works with students in small groups on breathing, stretching and other methods to help ground and center the children in developmentally appropriate ways.
