I am very excited to return as the art specialist for Northeast Elementary for the 2025-26 school year!!! I have been teaching art for 32 years (28 years in Douglas County Schools, 1 in Kansas City, 3 in St. Louis, Missouri). I have a B.A. in Art and a B.A. in Education from William
Jewell College. In addition, I have a Masters in Creative Arts in Education that has supported my love for integrating arts into the classroom and collaborating with all grade levels for our Project Based Learning program.
In addition to walking my dog, skiing, reading, and spending as much time as I can with my family, every summer I pursue creative endeavors such as drawing, painting, and learning how to advance my own personal art skills, which inspires me to stay current for my art students and to bring exciting art projects into the new school year to share with our Northeast students!
I am beyond thankful to this community for supporting the arts, as well as trusting me with the fortunate opportunity to witness the creativity, expression and JOY of my student artists EVERYDAY!!!!!
Please never hesitate to email me with any questions or concerns that you have!
Sincerely, Adrienne Sousa adrienne.sousa@dcsdk12.org
