District Funding Impacts
Fullerton School District is committed to keeping the community and staff fully informed of the impacts to programs, staff, and services resulting from the 2008-2009 and the 2009-2010 budgetary adjustments, or loss of State and Federal grant dollars.

A Plant Rap: 21st Century Learning in Action
Come take a look and listen to a first grade class at Fisler school as they demonstrate everything they know about plants through a creative rap. Students crossed curricular boundaries as they used reading and writing standards to create the poem, visual arts knowledge as they took photos of plant parts, and music education to put their lyrics to a beat.

Fullerton School District Promotes Student Learning Through the Arts
Research has shown that the arts are essential for building creativity and problem-solving skills that are so necessary for success in the 21st century. Study after study has shown that children who receive a strong education in the arts consistently outperform those who do not on almost every academic measure.
“All the Arts for All the Kids” is an arts education program unique to Fullerton that provides EVERY kindergarten through sixth grade child with lessons in art, music, dance and theatre as part of their regular school day.
Not only do these standards-based lessons teach kids arts skills, but they use the arts as a tool to teach other subject areas. These lessons are taught by wonderfully talented professional artist/educators who are dedicated to bringing the arts to our students.
All the Arts for All the Kids forms a long-standing partnership between the community and the School District. This highly cost-effective program is jointly funded by the District, the All the Arts for All the Kids Foundation, various PTAs, and individual donations.
The award-winning ArtsLAB program was initiated in 2003 and has been extensively funded by such diverse sources as the All the Arts for All the Kids Foundation, the Sunrise Rotary Club of Fullerton and the R.C Baker Foundation.
The Arts LAB program was the only District -wide Visual and Performing Arts Program in California to receive a Golden Bell Award in 2007, and has met with overwhelming success and enthusiasm from students, their parents, classroom teachers and the community.
