Pomperaug Schools Host Annual Student Art Show

From the Pomperaug Regional School District 15:

Region 15 Annual Art Show

The Annual Region 15 Art Show will be held on Friday, April 29 from 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm and on Saturday, April 30 from 10:00 am - 2:00 pm in the Pomperaug High School Gymnasium.

Members of the community, students, and families are invited to attend. The event will feature artwork from students in all grades and schools across Region 15. The PHS All Purpose room will also feature a digital art show of students at work, and Advanced Placement and middle school student enrichment work.

“Thousands of student works will be on display and it is a wonderful learning experience for all who attend,” said Jane Sargeant, Director of Fine Arts. A comprehensive arts education develops critical thinking skills and the abilities to make informed judgments. In addition, this year there will be a critical thinking scavenger hunt. Students who participate have a chance to win gift certificates for art materials and/or tools. “Come and support our extraordinary students. Enjoy and be inspired by all of their artistic diversity. Please come and understand the deep propose of teaching creativity and inspiring imaginations. Art exercises the imagination which is the tool for building hope, growth, change and a better way.”
