The Toledo Museum of Art is Honored by Toledo Public Schools
Toledo, Ohio—The Toledo Museum of Art has been named one of the Toledo Public Schools’
Silver Slate winners for 2008. The Silver Slate award recognizes people and organizations in our
community who have made outstanding leadership and service contributions to Toledo Public
Schools during the current school year.
The Toledo Museum of Art is being recognized for the multi-visit Docent program with the Ella P.
Stewart Academy for Girls. TMA developed and implemented a year-long thematic educational
project with the staff of The Ella P. Stewart Academy. The thematic topic for 2008-2009 focuses on the concept of neighborhoods and the people who have lived in and around The Ella P. Stewart
Academy. At each grade level, the academic content standards are entwined with experiential hands on student learning both in the classroom and on field trips to The Toledo Museum of Art.
A reception to honor this year’s award recipients is planned for December 16, 2008 at 5 p.m. at
the Thurgood Marshall Building.
