ARTS IMMERSION DAY
The arts department hosted "Arts Immersion Day" for 2nd-5th graders on the University Campus. It was an exciting opportunity for our younger students to be immersed in the arts and experience what it is like to attend classes on the University Campus. They participated in art, band, chorus, storytelling and theater! We're not sure who enjoyed the experience more..... the "little" kids or the "big" kids!
