SPRING ARTS FESTIVAL SCHEDULE

This year's All-School Spring Arts Festival features a return to the true roots of community festivals with an intimate format and new opportunities to experience what our students are learning and creating. Each day is a unique combination of visual art and music, hosted and presented by our amazing students.
Arrive 30 minutes prior to the start of the music performances so you can enjoy coffee and view the art from Preschool through High School students on display in our hallways. Student ambassadors will be there to provide directions and answer questions.
Parents are also encouraged to get involved by joining our interactive art activities!
- Channel your inner-kid with sidewalk chalk as you enter the school
- Design your own trading card or practice your origami skills in the atrium
- Help shape a community-built sculpture in the Elementary art room
We hope that you love the fresh vibe of this year's festival. Mark your calendars and plan to join us!
