“The best art comes from your everyday experiences and allows you to think creatively and critically about yourself and your place in the world around. And the Water Bar does that beautifully,” said Chad Alligood, who was in charge of the museum.

Schools are an important part of any community. 36 Let’s look at some of the ways that educators can help to develop a sense of community.
Encourage the Arts
Arts such as painting, drama and music give students a chance to develop their creativity. They also provide opportunities to build community spirit. Art shows, plays, musicals and concerts are events that connect the school with the wider community. 37 They give parents and other adults a reason to feel pride in the school and its students.
Hold Lots of Fun Special Events
Such special events include dances, competitions and events celebrating different cultures and traditions. Recruiting parents and volunteers for these events give everyone a chance to work together for common causes. Teachers and school administrators should consult with students and parents when planning these events. 38
Support School Sports
Sports help to develop values such as hard work and team spirit. 39 Having an entertaining mascot (吉祥物) is a way to draw attention to your school’s sporting events.
Have a Useful School Website
In the digital age, your school’s website plays an important part in community outreach.
