Arts in Action Day

I love so many traditions that we have at WKHS and the end of the year is filled with many of them... Arts in Action day is always high on that list.  Wasn't it incredible to walk around and see the talent that our students have in all of the various arts?  I love seeing the displays that are posted in the halls throughout the year, but on arts in action day, there is so much more to see and the excitement and pride is palpable.  Part of what I love about this day each year is that it is a chance for others to participate in the arts - whether that is with watching the throw down competition, getting your face painted, salsa dancing, working on the guatemalan carpet, getting a marigold plant, trying air brushing, drumming, or so much more it is a reminder of the talents that are within our students.

The healing drumming circle was so much fun!  Thank you to everyone who came out and participated.  It was a beautifull day to be outside and to drum together.  Iggy Garcia was our guest who led the drumming circle.  He also happens to be the uncle of two of our students, Adriana and Marissa Dolciato, which made it an even more special connection to WKHS.  The Worthington Kilbourne Activity Club funded this event for our school and we are so grateful for their ongoing support of so many of Kilbourne's special projects including the drumming circle.  If you didn't get to join us for the drumming, it really was a cool experience.  As Iggy shared with us, we all have a rhythm inside of ourselves which starts in our heart and then as we drum together we find that shared connection where our hearts are all joined together.

Here are a few more photos from the drumming circles:
