The 37th Labrador Creative Arts Festival begins this week. This festival showcases talent by students from all over Labrador with performances for a full week at the Lawrence O'Brien Center for the Arts. This is a fantastic opportunity for children to write and perform original work. Our youth are awesome!
The festival also invites artists from all all over and from all disciplines to come to the schools and workshop with students on a myriad of creative pursuits - anything from dancing, acting, book-making to accordion playing, song writing, painting, sketching, story-telling.... just to name a few. I look forward to this every year. It is one of the most educational and fulfulling activities available to our students!
The Labrador School Board deserves a lot of credit for its sponsorship of this wonderful event. It also succeeds because the whole community comes together to contribute. We have student abassadors, people who offer their homes to billet students and artists alike, volunteers who provide shuttle service to various venues, and of course teachers who have volunteered hours and hours of their time to prepare students for their performances.
Congratulations to Fiona Andersen and her committee and to all those involved! Have a wonderful week!
