Over the past few weeks the WMS Art Department has had SO MANY extra happenings going on!  

Last week Monday we had our annual Fine Arts Fest.  This is a amazing celebration of the arts, both audibly through band and choir, and visually through the Susan Lorenz Memorial Art Show.

The performing arts did an amazing job preforming in front of a crowd of 1000+. The show showcased our arts on a K-12 district level. The art show also had so many participants this year, having the submitted art pieces not only range in topic, but in medium too. Check out the link below to see a article on the event!

Last week Thursday The High and Middle School had their Annual Arts Field Trip.  Participants got a chance to visit the Broad Art museum, Kresgy Art Department at MSU, make some cool art in the MSU Art Lab, and finally end our trip by visiting the Lansing Art Gallery to see all the great student arts who entered into the Art Scholarship Alert competition.  All this was funded by Michigan Youth Arts.  Look below to see all the cool photos from our field trip!
