INDUSTRY INSIGHT OPEN HOUSE MARCH 31, 2019 | 12:30-2:30 PM EDUCATION SPONSORED CONTENT The arts play a vital role in education at Our Lady of Grace Catholic School. Students have shown a great enthusiasm to participate in the many opportunities offered. All students are exposed to music and art classes weekly, but in addition, middle school students have a drama class as part of their curriculum and an after-school drama club is available to 4th through 8th grade students. The drama club performs in the fall as part of a Cabaret Dinner Theatre and in the spring for a musical. These students recently attended a workshop at the Byham Theater to learn from professionals in the field of theatrical production. Students can be involved in all aspects of the school productions, from set design to publicity. The arts are also infused in the STREAM classes for primary students. Including the arts as part of the curriculum teaches children to be well-rounded thinkers and develop 21st century skills. In addition to the creativity, collaboration and critical thinking necessary to develop these skills, the arts develop confidence and cultural awareness. An Open House will be held on March 31, from 12:30-2:30 p.m., showcasing the fine arts at Our Lady of Grace School. All current and prospective families are welcome to attend. Tours and information about Our Lady of Grace will be available for all those interested in enrolling for the 2019-2020 school year. 1734 Bower Hill Rd.
