The MNSD Gala of the Arts will be held at the Marple Newtown Performing Arts Center on Saturday May 17, 2014 at 7:00 pm, Light Dinner at 5:30.
The Gala of the Arts incorporates artwork and musical performances from Culbertson, Loomis, Russell, Worrall Elementary Schools, Paxon Hollow Middle School and Marple Newtown High School.
