The 8th grade artists have etched and printed images of their pets.  See a Photo Gallery of them now on display on the walls outside the Dragon Room.

Just before the holiday break, Head of School Jamie Tender announced some exciting news.  The school recently received a significant gift pledge of one million dollars from a donor who would like to remain anonymous at this time.  This generous gift signifies strong support for the school and is meant to sustain SGS into the future.  The donor’s vision includes:
1.    Support long term infrastructure and facilities improvement
2.    Create community
3.    Develop a philanthropic culture of support for Saint George’s School

The board and administration, working with the donor, have agreed to move forward with a building project to replace the existing Lower School Art Facility.  The Arts are one of the three pillars of the school's mission.  A new Arts Building is a key piece of the Campus Master Plan and will include:
1.    Lower & Middle School Art
2.    Lower School Music
3.    A community gathering space/gallery

This 3300 sq. ft. facility will be built in the vicinity of the current LS Art Facility.  Building is forecasted to start this spring with completion by the end of 2019.  We do not have renderings of the new facility at this time, but we will have them in time for the Spring Gala in May.  Proceeds from the Spring Gala also will go towards supporting this building project.  Look for more information about this new facility as we get closer to construction.

The 9th grade Introduction to Studio Art students have been studying Color Harmony and Color Matching.  Here is a Photo Gallery of their paintings of abstract comics that they did as a culmination of that unit.  You can see them on display in the US Courtyard above the lockers on the wall outside the Art Studio.

Students who want to perform in the All-School Talent Show must submit a Talent Show Form to Melanie Mildrew by Wednesday, Jan. 16.  Auditions for grades 6-12 are during lunch on Thursday, Jan. 17 in the Dragon Room, while Lower School auditions will be that same day during the second break (1:30pm) in the Dragon Den.  All of their talents will be on display at the show on Thursday, Jan. 24 at 6pm in Founders Theater.
