Soup and Arts Fest

Well, I knew it had been awhile since I posted, but I didn't realize it had been since January!

This past Saturday was the annual EMS Soup and Arts Fest.  This event is a highlight of every year.  The art teachers (K-12) display student work, area restaurants donate delicious soups, and students display their many other musical and artist talents.  This event raises money for the various arts programs that we have at school.  Attendees pay $10 to sample various soups, eat homemade bread, and enjoy decadent desserts prepared by the Family and Consumer Science classes.

From EMES, 2nd graders recite original poems (which Hannah did last year and Sophie will do next year), and the 3rd-5th grade choir sang a song.

The elementary art teacher also displays the students art work, and it's always so wonderful!  This year each student got to choose three pieces to share.  Here are the girls pieces:

Hannah: The Ballerina on Stage

Hannah: Fall Tree Silhouette

Sophie: Complimentary Colors (in UVA blue and orange, no less)

Sophie: Overlapping Shapes

Sophie: Scratched Lines

Hannah: Self Portrait
