BENTON, IL – State Representative Dave Severin (R-Benton) announced this week that the Illinois Arts Council Agency has awarded a $50,000 grant from state funds for the purpose of supporting art curriculum and planning at Wabash CUSD 348. Severin says the grant funds are important for supporting the fine arts and encouraging well-rounded education for local students.
“I want to congratulate Wabash CUSD and the Golden Aces students who will benefit from this grant funding,” Severin said. “I believe students are entitled to receive a well-rounded education that includes not only reading, writing, and arithmetic, but also education in fine arts like music, painting, and the like. Congratulations Aces!”
