EDS at Arts Council Show
Evansville Day School's "The Beauty of Nature" mural will be displayed at the Arts Council of Southwestern Indiana's 2016 Another's Treasure exhibit. The exhibit will officially open on April 8th, and a reception and award presentation will be held on Earth Day, Friday, April 22, from 5:30 pm - 7 pm.
The work is a collaborative effort between our middle and primary school students. Last fall, 6th graders created art based on the question, "What does a sustainable world look like?" The winning design is an original watercolor by Emma Troost, depicting an eagle soaring over green hills in front of a rising sun. 8th grade students painted the enlarged design on plywood panels. Mrs. Powell's science students washed and prepared the caps, and the Primary students sorted the caps by color and placed them on the mural.
We are excited to introduce a brand-new Counselor-In-Training (CIT) program for the 2016 Summer Academy! The CIT program is open to any rising 6th - 8th grade EDS student attending Summer Academy classes.
This program is available for NO additional fee! Experience as a CIT gives your child the chance to gain the necessary skills to obtain a paid counselor position when he/she is in Upper School.
If your child is interested, he/she should see Mrs. Deppe for an application.
