  2013 evening of the arts

Evening of the Arts

Wednesday, May 22, 6:00 - 9:00 pm

Evening of the Arts began 19 years ago as a format for the visual art students to showcase their hard work.  What started as a few  display boards in a small room with simple appetizers from our cafeteria has grown into an evening drawing over 500 guests to enjoy the entire gym filled with artwork on 45 display boards and all four walls filled with works including Digital Art, Drawing, Painting, Calligraphy, Photography, In addition, there are 30 tables filled with 3-dimensional works of all kinds, including Ceramics, Basket Weaving, sculpture and other crafts.  Gourmet food is provided by our Culinary Arts students.  Also participating is our Dance Production Team, Jazz Band, Choir and Drama. It's a community event that is looked forward to every year by many. 

This year, Evening of the Arts is on Wednesday, May 22, 6:00 - 9:00 pm.  Admission is free, the performances start at 7:00 pm and the only money required is to eat the delicious foods and desserts.

Absence Phone Line:
When your student is absent, please report it.
Call (949) 515-6305

 

Just a reminder that no student will be released from school over the telephone and no early dismissals will be issued over the telephone. The parent/guardian should send their student to school with a note to obtain an Off Campus Permit. The student needs to give their note to Attendance before school or at break.

 

In the event of an emergency, a parent/guardian must come into the Attendance Office and sign the student out of school. The Attendance Office will not telephone classrooms to have students excused from school out of respect for instructional time. 

If a student becomes ill while at school, the student should not call their parent. They should instead go to the nurse's office. The nurse will call home for the student.

Thank you to all Newport Harbor parents and students for your understanding and your cooperation.
