Arts in Action 2014

We had a very exciting week here at Wayne Thomas!  On Thursday, students in 1st-5th grades participated in an afternoon of Arts in Action!  The afternoon began with an assembly featuring members of the Northwood Band.  Students then attended three pre-selected workshops.  Workshops featured all areas of the arts: music, dance, drama, and creative arts.  We had fantastic presenters who brought these subjects to life for our students!  Workshops included:
