Window On a Wider World

Window On a Wider World Window on a Wider World is committed to enhancing the knowledge of classroom core curriculum by providing experiential learning opportunities.

From the beginning of the fundraising process to build the Globe-News Center for the Performing Arts, the board, staff and donors realized there was an opportunity to make a tremendous impact on how our children learn through and with arts and cultural programming. During construction over $1.3 million was given to the future education program, and nationwide research was initiated to find a successful program of arts education for children. After several metamorphoses, ArtsPartners, a program of Big Thought in Dallas, Texas, was chosen as the program to model. During this process, donors from throughout the area expressed interest in supporting an education program that would benefit children in rural areas. Due to this interest and support, WOWW will benefit every elementary school student in the Texas Panhandle

This week we celebrated the arts in education. But for Panhandle students, the arts cannot be a once-a-year idea. Keeping music, art, and creative learning in classrooms takes steady support all year. A few dollars a month is how you keep the celebration going long after the week ends.

The theme of National Arts in Education Week says it plainly: every student deserves the chance to create and thrive through the arts, no matter their zip code or family income. That is the entire reason WOWW exists, to make sure a student in a small district gets the same access as a student in the city. Every student deserves the same window.

This week, the whole country celebrates something WOWW works on every day: the arts belong in every classroom. National Arts in Education Week recognizes how creativity builds critical thinking, confidence, and connection in students of every age. We are proud to bring that to Panhandle schools all year long.

Happy Grandparents Day. Some of the most steadfast supporters of Panhandle students are grandparents: the ones who show up, who give, and who believe every child deserves a wider world. If that is you, thank you. And if you would like to help open the window for a child this year, we would love to have you.

On Patriot Day, we pause to remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and to honor the first responders and communities who answered with courage. We hold them in our thoughts today.

There is a reason WOWW ties every experience to the curriculum. When students get to see, touch, and do, engagement climbs and the lesson sticks. Hands-on learning turns an abstract chapter into something a student actually wants to come to school for. That is the quiet power of arts and science in the classroom.

Not every WOWW experience is a field trip. Many happen right in the classroom, when a partner brings a hands-on program to the students: instruments, art materials, science demonstrations, and more. For rural campuses especially, having the experience come to them means no bus, no barrier, just learning that comes alive at their own desks.

Here is a look behind the curtain. Every WOWW school gets its own representative who sits down with teachers on a Booking Day each fall to plan the year, matching experiences to grade levels and lesson plans. It means the arts and sciences show up right on time to make the most impact.

A single WOWW experience rarely teaches just one thing. A visit tied to a science unit can fold in history, math, and language arts too. That is what happens when learning steps off the page: the subjects start connecting. Every WOWW program is built to reinforce the classroom, not compete with it.

None of this happens alone. Through WOWW, the Amarillo Museum of Art brings students face to face with real works of art, from guided gallery tours to its ARTifact Cases that travel right into classrooms. It is art history made tangible, tied to the curriculum, for students who might never set foot in a museum otherwise.
