The Anderson Vertical Team is excited to be part of the Creative Learning Initiative (CLI) this year.  This is a city-wide collaboration between MINDPOP, the City of Austin and over 50 arts and cultural organizations, bringing arts enrichment and creative learning to the students of Hill Elementary.  CLI is built on three pillars of learning: Fine Arts enrichment, creative teaching across the curriculum and community arts organizations and resources.  Hill Staff completed a PD with the CLI team last week and we are so excited to bring this creative program to our students.

Looking forward to the first day of school!!
