Sara Haley
Sara Haley is a practicing artist born and raised in Florida. She left for a while to attend The Cooper Union in New York City, which became a launchpad for all kinds of miscellaneous material-based job experiences including but not limited to sawing lumber, fabricating props, art studio assistance, art handling, art administration, farm labor, trail blazing, archaeological illustration, art teaching.
The last is really what fills her with life, and she is brimming with it in her role as the CIE teacher at South Miami K-8 Center.
Wondering what the program is all about, if it might be a good fit for your child? Are you a current parent wanting to get a better idea of what your child's magnet class is all about, why they may have taken a sudden interest in scavenging items from the recycling bin for "Projects"?
Please feel free to reach out to Sara at sarahaley@dadeschools.net.
She truly looks forward to connecting.
