Friday, May 18th, from 5:00 p.m. through 8:30 p.m.
 * ART SHOW:**

Have you wondered what your students have been creating in Art this year? Please come to the 1st Annual Beth-Center Night at the Arts. __Every__ student will have at least one piece of art on display in the show. The 5th grade will be unveiling their Colonial installation art project. We will also have an installation art piece in the gym from a Japanese artist, Tamatebako. It is in interactive piece that is on loan from the Mattress Factory Museum. The 5th grade band will also have a concert beginning at 7:00 p.m. in the cafeteria. The Middle School and High School artists will also display their talents here at the Elementary building. I hope you and your students will be able to attend.

Are you an artist? Are there artists in your family or neighborhood? I have been approached by several students telling me of the artistic talents within their families and neighborhoods. I would like to bring this talent into our school. I would like to make art more accessible to the students. Art does not have to be produced by someone famous, nor does it have to be hanging in an art museum to be of value. Showing students artists within their own community may inspire them to challenge themselves creatively.
 * ART IN OUR COMMUNITY:**

I would like to start a pilot program. If you are interested in coming into the school and sharing your art and inspiration with the students, please contact me. You may do a demonstration of your talents, a presentation, or whatever you feel inspired to share with the students. I look forward to seeing the response of students while building a stronger sense of community within the district. My e-mail is: silvios@bc.k12.pa.us.
