On April 13th, a district wide Mega Arts Festival occurred at Fair Haven Union Middle and High School. This spectacular all day event was organized and executed by our teachers of music, art and theatre. Each school sent students from grades 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 to take part in the Chorus section, while district wide students in grades 6 through 12 participated in the Art and Band sections, with theatre group consisting of students from 7 through 12. Each section worked all day on creating together, which culminated in a grand performance for evening viewers. The doors opened to the public at 5:00 PM. Attendants were treated to a student art show, which followed with performances from the district theatre group, chorus and band. For many, it was the first time students from all the schools worked together on various projects. It was a busy, fun filled event. Please enjoy the slideshow (follow this link https://youtu.be/urvxbMRljf8) featuring photos from the day, and songs sung by the district chorus.
Another amazing Falcon Fest. We are so proud of our students!!
