Arts Extravaganza was a Hit!!!!!!

WOW! What a wonderful finish to a fabulous week. Arts Extravaganza was full of art experiences through guest artists, hands on activities, and a huge, school wide student artshow! There was a large turnout for this special event and fun was had by all! Thank you to all the faculty, staff, and parents that volunteered to make this a perfect evening!

Cultural Arts Week is Really Rocking!!!

We are having a BLAST this week with all our guest performers. Monday we had SUGAR AND SPICE who entertained us with puppetry - very funny! On Tuesday we had a small group from the Synphony come and play for us as well as teach us about the instruments - beautiful! On Wednesday we had Glenis Redmond, "Miss Poetic" share her wonderful poetry in a very dramatic style - captivating! On Thursday we had ORISIRISI entertain us with the stories and drums of Africa - exciting! On Friday we have the Banjo Man from the Listening Project allowing us to experience the county - knee slapping! On Friday Night we have ARTS EXTRAVAGANZA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The big finale! This is TONS of fun. Guest artists, hands on art activities, school wide student art show, food, and the PTA basket auction. Make sure to be there to experience this awesome event.

Kids Art Fair had an Awesome turnout.

On Monday and Tuesday evening we hosted our Kids Art Fairs so our parents could come purchase their child's artwork matted and framed. It was beautiful!!!!! I almost wish we could keep the work up all year long, right there in the lobby, because it makes such an incredible impact when you walk in the school. We had a wonderful turn out on Monday and Tuesday nights, with all attending amazed at the talent our children possess.

We are still selling the artwork through Friday Night at our big Arts Extravaganza. If you have not purchased your child's work, it is not too late.

Thanks to all who helped volunteer during the event!
