Special Thank You to our PTA for Bringing an Artist in Residence to Deep Run
Deep Run students have been working with an Artist in Residence this week. Ssuuna is a dancer, drummer, singer, songwriter, storyteller, and recording artist from Uganda. He performed for all grades on Monday, October 15th. Ssuuna has been working with third grade students and finishes today when the third graders will perform for students in the school and third grade parents at 2:30.
The Artist in Residence with Ssunna was funded in part by a grant from the Howard County Government, the MD State Arts Council, the Columbia Foundation and Target and our own PTA funds. We are grateful to Young Audiences/Arts for Learning Maryland for their support in bringing Ssunna to Deep Run.
