We're recruiting volunteers to help with this event - click the button below to see the schedule (spots fill up quickly!).

Thank you to everyone who came out to our annual Art & Music Showcase on Wednesday! The chairs of the Art & Music Showcase Committee, Kerri Bertrand & Jenni Owen, put in countless hours (along with many dedicated volunteers) to plan & put on this event. Curie Art Consultant, Lee Bertrand; PTA Music Consultant, Deb O'Neill; & Visual & Performing Arts (VAPA) Instructors, Katherine Pupping, Mehta Avinash, & Nico Pachano Gonzalez all did a wonderful job preparing our students to showcase the skills they've been developing all year.
