ARTS IN THE COMMUNITY

PARTNERSHIPS IN PLYMOUTH AND CANTON

The Plymouth Community Arts Council (PCAC) has provided curricular support for P-CCS students and teachers since 1969. Their mission is to "develop and promote the appreciation and accessibility of the arts to everyone in the greater community and in doing so, encourage and foster artistic excellence." The popular Art Volunteer Program provides our elementary students with exposure to classical and modern art, sculpture, and different world cultures, as well as valuable curricular support for our art teachers.

The Plymouth-Canton Symphony Society (PCSS) encompasses the Plymouth Symphony and Orchestra Canton. One of the highlights of our students' musical development is the CLASSical Outreach program provides  students with the opportunity to get "up close and personal" with professional musicians through live instrument demonstrations and chamber performances. The program culminates in 4th grade with the "Koncert For Kids", a performance of the full orchestra in our own Gloria Logan Auditorium.

The Village Theater at Cherry Hill, maintained through Canton Leisure Services, is one of the gems of the Plymouth-Canton arts community, and a professional facility in every sense of the word. The theater staff works collaboratively with the district to provide arts programming that supports the P-CCS arts curriculum, often providing resources for field trips and other outreach activities.
