ARTS

In keeping with our philosophy of educating the whole child, we provide many opportunities for students to participate in the creative arts.  Music, band, and drama complement the classroom art instruction and are the major components of our fine arts program.

Performing at the Christmas Concert

MUSIC

Beginning in kindergarten, all students attend music class twice a week.  In addition to learning music theory and information about types of music and famous composers, students learn songs for two major performances.  The students, under the direction of our experienced music teacher, Margaret Wahlen, share their musical talents at the Christmas and Spring Concerts.
 

BAND

Students have the opportunity to learn how to play a musical instrument beginning in 5th grade.  After selecting an instrument at the beginning of the year, students attend band practice three days a week with the high school music director, Vicki Van Essen.  Throughout the year, the band members perform in various concerts.  

DRAMA

Students may also try out for acting roles in the Spring Concert.  With a wide range of parts to choose from, there is usually an open spot available for those who wish to grab a piece of center stage.
