Mark your calendars for Tuesday, December 1st, as our students hold their first Art Auction.

The student’s art will be on display and available for purchase, by the highest bid, to family or friends. Digital reproductions of all art work can be ordered and purchased. In addition to the student’s work, we will have on-hand some paintings and photographs by professional artists and photographers. These works will also be available for sale to the highest bidder. In addition to the original art and digital reproductions; student’s art will be available through an online novelty store (details will be presented at the auction). There you will be able to purchase items (coffee mugs, key fobs, etc.) with the student’s art superimposed onto the item purchased. The school will receive a percentage of these purchases.

This is one of the three main fundraising efforts of our school this year. Please help us by inviting all your relatives, and friends, to be present at this event.

Our annual Fine Arts competitions are a wonderful opportunity for our students to develop the talents God has given them. Whether it be a talent in: art, music, photography, academics, crafts, or a combination of these; we encourage every student to discover and develop these talents, and we attempt to facilitate this through these competitions.  Therefore, we ask that you encourage your student to do their best and participate in as many of these areas as they can.

This time of year is so exciting and filled with expectation and anticipation. I see this spirit emerge in both student and staff alike. This is also a very busy time of the year for us. Our daily schedule is filled with classroom studies and rehearsals in both singing and acting. This year, in addition to our Christmas program, we have added two programs to our Fall schedule: Fine Arts Competitions and Young Artist’s Sale. 

FINE ARTS COMPETITIONS – NOV 23rd & 24th. Please encourage your student to participate in the many areas of competitions. For more information speak with your student’s teacher, or call the school office.
