Our school environment and community is enriched by the arts and has a positive influence on the education of our students. Harry F. Abate Elementary School is pleased to offer curricula in Performing Arts, Visual Art, and Vocal & Instrumental Music.

The Arts Department works collaboratively to showcase different performances and exhibits throughout each school year.

Students in grades 3, 5, and 6 attend performing arts. Grade 3 attends a course in instrumental music. All grades attend art or music for 45-min a week for 13 weeks, rotating on a trimester basis. Students in the enrichment program attend art and music for a full-year. Additionally, students may elect to be part of chorus, band, art therapy, or drama club.
