‘Tis the season…
All over the state there are exhibits and performances taking place exhibiting the work of students. Many of them are a culmination of the accomplishments of students from throughout the year and a testament to the outstanding work that arts teachers do in classrooms. These exhibits and performances are evidence of the learning that has taken place.
An email from Ruth McAtee from the County yesterday included the following: Our art show opens tomorrow the 11th of May at 5pm. Beginning with music from the 4th grade chorus. The art gallery spaces provided by the Aroostook Centre Mall will be ready for browsing and enjoying the student work created this school year by students in grades K-12. Students in
grades 4-12 will entertain the crowds with their musical talents…..which includes chorus and band selections. The time is from 5pm-8pm.
A couple of weeks ago Catherine Ring stopped by Bucksport High School (RSU 25) to see the Visual Art Show. She said: “The work being done by the students in Holly Bertrand’s art classes is just spectacular. Bucksport must be very proud of their students and their art teachers!” WOW!
