Art Season
from Betsy Woodruff, Art Instructor
Spring has Sprung...and the Art Season has Begun
Green grass, art shows, flowers, and art competitions: it must be that time of year... Spring and the Art season are in full bloom! There will be several opportunities to support your children in the Arts this season and listed below are each of these occassions. I look forward to all the excitement the next three weeks brings.
A Night with the Arts at Triad Middle School
Tuesday, May 7th - 5th & 6th Grade
The Arts are in full force this evening: The band performs, the choir sings, and each student has an artwork piece on display. This night is sure to be a delight to many of your senses. This year the art show will be more interactive with hands on activities and opportunities to be involved with the work. The TMS quilt, featuring student work, will be on display and raffle tickets being sold that evening as well to fund the Humanities Unit. The concert starts at 7 pm.
