Episode Details

Arts for the Schools is revolutionizing education in the Tahoe Truckee region by merging science lessons with hip-hop performances. Local rapper Brandon Greathouse leads these lively shows, where kids rap about water safety and frog facts. The nonprofit, which has been running for 41 years, also offers cultural assemblies like music, dance, and storytelling. Their unique approach, which includes environmental topics, has earned them a dedicated following among students. Over five days, they deliver eight assemblies to hundreds of students, providing a creative outlet in a snow sports-centric area. The organization aims to expand, connecting more artists with teachers to enrich everyday classes.
