Spokane Field Trip

Thanks to generous donations from Panhandle Alliance for Education (PAFE) and Showkidz!, the Arts Track (and several students from other tracks) was able to go for a field trip to Spokane on Thursday, May 5th.

The day started at the Museum of Arts and Culture (MAC) where students viewed several different exhibits.  The first was an exhibit showing how the museum puts together artifacts and displays.  The second was of Norma Bassett Hall's incredible printmaking.  Next was a display of the Nez Perce art of beading that was phenomenal, and the last was an interactive exhibit on buried treasure.

After a full morning at the museum, students and chaperones went to River Park Square for lunch and a bit of free time before heading over to the INB Performing Arts Center at 1:30 to watch the Broadway musical Newsies.  It was a spectacular show with jaw-dropping dancing and singing.

Next week brings the last rehearsal and preparation time for the play performance on the 17th and the talent show on the 20th.
