Where Creativity Builds Community
Fine arts programming plays a vital role in helping students express themselves, build confidence, and find connection through shared creative experiences. This was on full display as nearly 600 students gathered for this year’s CBE Sings festivals. These noncompetitive events bring together choirs from across the system, ensuring that all students—regardless of school size or resources—can participate meaningfully in high‑quality choral learning. By creating space for collaboration, student voice, and authentic musical expression, CBE Sings strengthens both our music programs and our broader sense of community.
