HOUSE RESOLUTION NO. 103

BY  UPMEYER and M. SMITH

A Resolution celebrating the fine arts in Iowa’s schools and communities.

   WHEREAS, music, drama, and the visual arts have always played a valuable role in Iowa education and in Iowa’s communities; and
   WHEREAS, at all educational levels Iowa’s schools offer a variety of fine arts education and experience that can enrich students’ lives and broaden students’ horizons; and
   WHEREAS, every year young Iowans hone their skills in school theatrics, singing groups, bands, and art studios; and
   WHEREAS, those experiences sometimes lead to a lifelong career, and sometimes a lifelong avocation; and
   WHEREAS, whichever path is chosen, the fine arts bring enrichment and enjoyment, adding vibrancy to community life and a sense of accomplishment and purpose to the individual; NOW THEREFORE,

   BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, That the House of Representatives urges all Iowans to enrich their lives and their communities by taking advantage of the fine arts programs providing educational, professional, and individual opportunities throughout the state; and

   BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives urges all schools, public and private, to offer a variety of fine arts opportunities to their students at every level.
