Activities
Cultural Arts

Natick formed a district cultural arts committee, comprised of volunteer representatives from each school, in 1976 to bring outstanding arts groups into the schools. In addition to the town wide events that are booked to perform across schools throughout each school year, the Johnson School cultural arts reps coordinate programs for our school that compliment curriculum objectives, student interests and multi cultural perspectives. Our students are exposed to arts across all disciplines including theatre, dance, music, literary arts and visual arts areas.

The major source of funding for cultural arts programs is the PTO. Thanks for supporting our learning community!
