Partnership Team participates in collaborative efforts to make the
arts integral to education. This affiliation is granted to a select
few and the Arts Center is one of only three (3) Kennedy Center

public school district. Its partnership, since 1996, gives the Arts
Center the opportunity to provide teacher training and development
focused on integrating the arts into classroom curriculum. The Arts
Center’s Kennedy Center Workshops are offered to all school
districts on Long Island. In 2006 Regina Gil, Executive Director of
