I am Leisha Black and will be teaching ART this year. I have a degree in Elementary Education and taught 6th grade for four years before staying home with my family. While raising my six children, I was the Canyon Rim PTA Art Program coordinator for many years; I recruited volunteers (myself included) to teach Art in the classroom. I feel passionately that the Arts are absolutely necessary in our children's education. Now I am so excited to bring Art to the students almost every week. I will be working with the 1st, 3rd, and 5th grades this year.
