Arts-X-press is a summer arts immersion program for 7th and 8th grade students created by the Pacific Symphony in celebration of Cole Carsan St.Clair. 150 students are nominated by teachers throughout Orange County to come together for 5 days of creative exploration each summer. The program has two goals: 1) To expose students to all 5 performing and visual arts; and 2) To foster respect for and interest in each student’s individuality, talents, interests, and background.

Hello from Michal's CE class

Michal's CE class has been hard at work expressing ourselves creatively. We don't want to share too much because that would spoil the fun of our parent presentation but we'll give you a sneak peek of what we have to share with you.

Here is an I AM poem that we wrote about our favorite director, Edward. We each wrote a poem about him, writing from our different perspectives, and then each contributed a line. Here is our final version.

I am a leader and fun (Carlos)
I wonder if the students are having fun (Colt)
I hear the children and counselors talk with each other (Amy)
I see how different kids act to each other (Lukas)
I want campers to take artistic risks (Elaine P)
I pretend to be strict (Kenton)
I cry when people aren't happy (Elaine H)
I love being optimistic (Minh)
I worry some people might not have a positive attitude (Val)
I dream to create a bigger legacy (Emily)
I am cheerful and protective (Serenity)
I am Edward (Nathan)

We'll see you Tuesday to share our Pause Pictures from Pageant, What's Behind the Door poems, Letters from a Theater, and our Goals and Discoveries. Can't wait!
