The
Windham High School recently served as a gallery to showcase the talented
artists that exist within the district. It is here that for two hours a large
turnout of students, parents, families, and RSU14 staff, along with the
community, strolled through hallways where the walls were adorned with a wide
range of creations from every genre, through the use of numerous mediums.
“The
art show was an incredible community celebration of parents, students and families
coming out to support the visual arts in Windham/Raymond Schools. Students
posed with their artwork for photos and enjoyed showing their families the
exhibits.
Those
who attended the art show were able to enjoy musical performances by the
Windham Chamber Singers and the 3rd Grade Chorus.
“Without
the tireless hard work of the amazing art teachers in our district, this
amazing display of student work would not be possible,” shared Windham Middle
School art teacher Heather Livingstone.
Windham Middle School Principal, Drew Patin also thought the art show was an excellent community event that highlighted the students’ talents in both the fine arts and performing arts. “It is wonderful to see the support of the community and the progression of students’ work from K-12,” Patin stated. “Students are excited to show off their skills and talents and proud to have it displayed in such a beautiful and large setting.”
Parents
were amazed to see what their sons and daughters had created. As Patin stated,
“I am struck by how many parents did not realize how talented their children
are. The arts provide a different means of thinking, creativity, and perseverance
that is hard to duplicate in other classes.” He was also extremely pleased and
impressed with the art teachers and the level of performance they are able to
have their students obtain in the arts. “The art show is a great example
of Windham's focus on the whole child, the cultivating of talents, and the
recognition of student work through community functions!”
