Another Astounding Arts Week!

Students had the opportunity to explore their artistic side this Arts Week, with a wide variety of activities throughout the week. 

This year, several activities were also linked to our Service Learning Program. There was a collection drive through the week for art supplies for Boys and Girls Club while the Grade 7s and 8s decorated cookies for the organization. Students also crocheted stuffies for seniors with dementia as part of the Light Up Squad service learning program.

Arts Week culminated in this year’s final Greenwood Mic on May 15 during Community Time. Later on in the evening, we hosted the Arts Everywhere! Evening where families and friends came to check out our students’ artistic endeavours in visual arts, media arts, music, drama and film. The amazing displays of visual art, woodworking and media arts lined the hallways on the ground floor as well as part of the Lodge. Several school bands and choirs performed upstairs in the gym for a captive audience. Senior Drama students performed a play, which the class wrote themselves, in the school’s Theatre. This was followed by a showcase of mini documentaries and a Grade 12 TV pilot episode on the Theatre’s projection screen.

What an amazing week and really goes to show how vibrant the art scene is here at Greenwood! Check out a recap of the activities from the week.
