Students express themselves at Fine Arts Night

Dozens of students enjoyed Fine Arts Night at South Elementary on April 11.

Art activities filled rooms along the first grade hall, including scratch art, thumb print art, water colors and bubble wrap prints.

Music activities were staged in classrooms though the kindergarten hall, including Wii karaoke, “fun with instruments,” homemade instruments, instrument bingo and instrument show and tell.

In the gym, children enjoyed Wii dance.

South Elementary music teacher Misty Michelman, along with art teachers, organized the events for the evening.

Michelman says that an evening like this has been done in the past to help relieve everyday stresses for the children because they want music and art to be as fun as possible and to include parents. She added that family involvement is important.
