My Project

As we celebrate the arts with an annual Fine Arts Night. On this night, we showcase the students' various art projects. The night includes a musical production by the kindergarten students, a performance by our choir and the "Ukalions," and a gallery of art created by the students. The gallery includes both clay pieces and framed art.

Buttons will be created as a special keepsake for the night.

Each student creates a drawing centered around the theme of Fine Arts Night. Then the students choose one drawing to be featured as the button given to all students and guests that attend Fine Arts Night. By helping fund this project you are giving the students the tools needed to publish the winning art piece into a beautiful button to remember this special night.
