East Side students excel in the arts

As school came to end this year, East Side Elementary students delighted their family members and friends with their annual music program and art show.

Third and fourth graders entertained everyone with songs from “High School Musical,” including the “Start Spangled Banner,” “Allegiance Rap,” “We’re All in this Together,” “Breakin’ Free,” “Getcha Head in the Game,” “Start of Something New,” “Bop to the Top,” “Fabulous,” “You are the Music in Me,” and “What Time Is It?” – and they enjoyed every minute of it. Directing the program was East Side music teacher Lynn Holt.

Also while they were there, parents and other guests enjoyed seeing the artwork their children had been doing throughout the year. On display were artwork of self-portraits, still life in pencil, weaving, masks, charcoal still life, perspective drawings, dragon paintings, tempera pastel, and painting in tints.
