Celebrating ARTS NIGHT with 700+ students... and their families!

A parent told me at ARTS NIGHT 1 last week, "this is my child's favorite night of the year!" Wow!
  • Maybe they love it because every child gets to perform.
  • Maybe they love it because every child has a personally chosen and personally titled piece of art on display.
  • Maybe they love it because it's like a giant book release party and they can buy the most beloved and most read publication at Lafayette- IMAGES, our art and literary anthology!
  • Maybe they love it because it feels like a true celebration of the arts and a party to boot with pizza and cookies and balloons!
Whatever the reason... it's a labor of love for our amazing Lafayette students and hearing wonderful comments like that makes the many, many hours of work all worth it!!!
