The event is coordinated by K-8 Art teacher Samantha Singler, and her students have submitted over 300 pieces for the show.

“Even though our students have faced unprecedented times these past few years, they have shown up every day, giving their best,” Singler said. “I want this show to celebrate their hard work and encourage them to always keep being great.” 

The show will also feature performances from the CCS-W Cheer Team led by Selena Laslovich, the Dance Team under the direction of D’Vora Shaw, the Show Choir directed by Richard Schneider, and Beta Club led by Patti Allen. 

The student art showcase and art contest will take place in the Multipurpose Room at the Middle School Campus. 

The show is set for Thursday from 4:30-6:30 p.m., and is free.

Ivey said the school is currently enrolling for a limited number of seats available in the next school year. Tours are available.
