“I think student achieve- ment and the arts are equally linked,” he said. “They’re very a dual part of our lives. I feel if we can engage them through the arts, they’ll come to school. And, when they’re here, then they achieve.”
What’s more, exposure to the arts provides “access and opportunities for kids to see what’s our there and to know what makes them passionate and what they can achieve in their lives,” Loomis said. “It’s very important.”
Oltjenbruns added that “what sparks someone to have a connection to school might be these extra curricular [ac- tivities], might be these other interests.”
She and Loomis have pre- vious experience working together on presenting big- scale events. In 2016, they teamed up to help bring “El Bracero” – a production that blends opera with mariachi music and folklorico dancing – to KCUSD. The event, held at Orange Cove High School, also featured other activities,

Celebrating Monsignor

Each child who comes to the event will receive a bag of books and other giveaways (while supplies last).
For families who live in Orange Cove, free transpor- tation will be provided. A bus will depart from Citrus Mid- dle School every 30 minutes.
KCUSD officials hope the children and their families not only learn about new activities and programs to enhance the children’s education, but that they feel proud of the success they are experiencing.
And, Oltjenbruns said: “I also just want them to be worry-free and just enjoy and create memories with their child.”
