Arts Enrichment

 

STAY TUNED FOR 2022-2023 PROGRAM INFORMATION!

 

Students enjoy programs representing a wide variety of the arts including music, dance, painting, writing (creative writing, expository writing, and poetry - including many visiting authors), theater arts, storytelling, and more. The bulk of our programming consists of hands-on workshops which emphasize student participation and active learning.

ARTS FIELD DAY
 

 

Arts Field Day was held on Tuesday, May 17 from 1-3 pm for 4th and 5th graders. This one-day, afternoon event allows students to pick from among a variety of visual and performing arts workshops distinct from the regular school curriculum. This year, students could participate in Hip Hop Dance, iPad Photography, Acrylic Paint Pouring, Logo Design, and more. Thanks to the PTA for supporting this opportunity for our kiddos to explore the arts!
