Members of the Central High School District’s fine and performing arts classes presented artwork and offered a musical performance that reflects this year’s theme of Pathways-Path-Purpose.

“This board is made up of dedicated and caring people and we wanted to thank you for your unwavering support fine and performing arts,” said Cheryl Fontana, the director of fine & performing arts and adult education.

Both art clubsfrom Grand and Merrick Avenue Middle Schools collaborated to create a path which referenced the book “What the Road Said” by Cleo Wade. Each rock was handmade and decorated by the students under the advisement of art teachers Heather Cordeira and Nick Giordano organized the effort.

“Each rock also contains quotes that remind us of our journey and purpose,” explained Giordano.

“We are truly grateful that your path led you to be a leader in our community and to serve on our school board,” added Cordeira.

Heather Lohr’s students from the district’s Prep Academy Art 3 students included a mosaic of the program’s mascot, the Huskies. Students used various mediums to make this collage come together as one image.

Rachel Shapiro, a music teacher at Kennedy High School, directed JFK Voices in an a capella version of ‘Can’t Help Falling In Love.”
