We are incredibly grateful for our amazing Fine Arts Day presenters! Today was an exciting and inspiring day for our MES students as they were engaged with the arts through stations. They had the opportunity to learn about music from the talented members of the Poke Salad Orchestra, dive into the world of forensics with our phenominal MHS Forensics Team, learn dance from an awesome MHS student, and explore with paint with the dedicated MHS Art Club students. Thank you to all of our presenters for sharing you time and talents with our MES students today!
