Fine Arts Night is fast approaching and we are so happy to announce that it will be LIVE!!! May 5th, beginning at 6 pm the Visual Arts Show will be open and the Music and Drama portion will begin at 7:00 pm. Unfortunately seating will be limited due to COVID restrictions so we will ask that each family limit their attendees to 2 people so that all families of performers can be accommodated. For the Visual Arts portion we will ask that families who attend move through the exhibit so that we can cycle through everyone who wants to attend. We will be sending more detailed information next week, so be on the lookout and put May 5th on your calendar. Help us to celebrate the achievements of our Fine Arts Students.
