Southside celebrates annual Festival of the Arts Southside Middle School's Fine Arts and Technology Department recently held their annual Fall Festival of the Arts. The festival is an opportunity to highlight not only our fine arts and STEM department, but also our students and their many talents. Informational sessions, presentations, interactive sessions, and games were sponsored by each of the arts disciplines and parents/visitors chose which of the sessions to participate in. Presentations included: Drum Circle, Night at the Museum, Light Painting, Theater Games, Musical Style Bingo, Dance Instruction, Orchestra, and STEM interactive sessions. In preparation for the festival, students spent weeks researching, planning and preparing for an evening that showcased what takes place on a daily basis at Southside. The roles were reversed this evening, however, as instead of the teachers providing instruction, students facilitated all sessions. In addition, dinner was prepared and served by students in the consumer science class to over 400 attendees and participants! The Young Men’s’ Club, a Southside student service organization, served as hosts and greeters for the event as well. It was a great evening for all, with food, learning experiences and fun!
