Visual Arts
Daniel Bagley's exceptional visual arts program provides the
foundation for our school-wide arts focus. Twice-weekly classes
for all students with our certified arts specialist let them
explore, experiment and create in different media. Art History
and theory provide the foundation for their creative efforts.
The annual Art Walk during our spring "Celebration of the
Arts" showcases every student's work. Daniel Bagley also participates
in the statewide Reflections arts competition.
Music
Music is an integral part of each classroom’s curriculum.
Our 4th and 5th grade students have the opportunity for instrumental
music instruction. Students are able to select from a variety
of wind and string instruments. The student’s work culminates
in an end of the year performance for the whole school and
an evening concert for parents and families.
Performing Arts
Our artist-in-residence program includes movement
classes with dancers from Pacific Northwest Ballet. Fourth grade students participate in an intensive program
learning traditional ballet exercises and choreography. The
students practice for a spring performance at McCaw Hall and
the school's annual "Celebration of the Arts" festival.
