CHAMPIONS OF THE ARTS
CELEBRATE THE 2023-2024 SEASON
The Kravis Center’s Education Committee proudly kicked off the 2023-24
season spotlighting the significance of arts in education, with a special
presentation by Michael Burke, Superintendent of the School District of
Palm Beach County (SDPBC). Burke shared highlights from the district’s
strategic goals, delving into the importance of the arts for local children and
offering insight on maintaining the presence of fine arts in our community.
“Palm Beach County is the 10th largest school district in the nation,” said
Burke. “We aim to educate, affirm and inspire each student, ensuring more
students in our community benefit from the county’s robust offerings of
academic, athletic and extracurricular programs. When students discover
activities that captivate their interest in school, like the arts programs, we
anticipate improved academic performance. It’s why we are so grateful
for our partnership with the Kravis Center in bringing live performances
to students who may never otherwise have another chance to experience
the gift of live theater.”
