2022 Night of the Arts

Night of the Arts is an annual spring tradition at Scholars Academy that we are so excited to bring back this year! The Scholars Academy community gathers to celebrate the talents of our students in the visual and performing arts. The 2022 Night of the Arts will be held on: 

Thursday, May 5

5:15-8:00 PM 

Christ Lutheran Church 

4545 Providence Road 

Note: Please allow ample travel time as rush hour traffic is heavy in the venue area. 

Ticket Sales

In lieu of an art sale, tickets to the event will be sold. Tickets will be $6.75 per adult and children are free. Proceeds from the ticket sales will go towards funding the art and music programs, as well as contributing towards the facility funds for the Night of the Arts venue. Ticket sales will be through the school and available for purchase prior to the event. Please be on the lookout for information and a link in an upcoming newsletter to purchase your tickets!

Visual Arts Exhibition 

The evening opens with a student art exhibition on the first and second floors of the Christ Lutheran Church lobby from 5:15-5:45 PM. All Scholars Academy students will have an original piece of artwork on display. Please arrive early to enjoy the amazing talents of our art students. This year, the artwork will not be part of an art sale. Please plan to view your child's/children's artwork during the art show and then pick up the piece(s) at the end of the night, after the musical performances. 

Music Performances

Every grade level K-4 and the middle school chorus and band will be presenting music performances that they have worked on especially for this evening. EVERY child's efforts are needed to make the performances work. Every child deserves to have his/her talents seen and appreciated. Please make every effort to be present for the art show and the musical program. 

Ms. Reynolds Tech Tips

Students now have access to media or social updates with the ever growing list of social media platforms and conversations with their peers. Learn about ways to have a conversation with your children when they encounter this situation:

Spring Clean: 3 ways to spring clean before spring break

Lost and Found - Is your child missing something?

Since our December lost and found event our students have lost quite a few new items! We would like to have another "lost and found" display in the parking lot at drop off the week before Spring Break.

However, we need some assistance hanging up the items and rolling out the carts. Please take a look at the sign up to see if when you might be able to help.
