The Arts

 

 

What are "the arts" at Forest Hills?

Forest Hills students have many opportunities throughout the year to participate in the fine arts of music, art and drama. The school is blessed with facilites which support the program, talented staff members and volunteers who make the program happen and an enthusiastic audience who appreciate talented performances.

 

The Art Space is a special room in the primary grade building where many art activities happen. Nearby is the ceramics kiln which is used frequently for a variety of projects. Artists-in-residence and special arts programs use this space.

 

The Music Room in the Dobbin Center is used for music classes, band and handbells rehearsals and for small group sessions. The gym next door is the scene of many performances. Roll-out stage, sound equipment and special lighting aid dramatic productions.

 

Forest Hills students support the Fine Arts program with the annual Run for the Hills event. Students solicit pledges of support and then run laps around the track to demonstrate their appreciation. Funds raised are used to bring in guest artists, purchase equipment and supplies, and fund arts-related events and assemblies.
