For two weeks at Rees Elementary School students were immersed in a “Watch us SOAR!” arts workshop. SOAR is a new initiate at Rees Elementary to encourage children to Serve and Support, Own their Actions, Aim High and Achieve and Respect. Six-hundred elementary students picked between classes in dance, theater, sculpting and photography. These classes were taught by artists, Marilyn Berrett (dance), Sheri Gibb (visual art), Elaine Brewster (drama)and Roz Newmark (dance and photography). Students learned skills in choreograph, facial sculpting, simple sewing, stage presence, and digital photography. Families and community members participated in the classes on Monday evenings and attended a final performance at the end of the two weeks.
