March 2026 – Celebrating Creativity, Growth, and Community

March has been a truly special month for the STARS Arts Department, filled with creativity, collaboration, and moments our students will remember for a long time.

We are incredibly grateful to all of the families, friends, and community members who came out to support our students in Hans Christian Andersen, Jr., The Great Ocean Rescue, and our K–8 Art Show, “Art is Sweet.” Your presence means more than you know and plays a huge role in building confidence and pride in our students.

Looking Ahead: 7th–8th Grade Spring Productions

We are excited to invite you to our upcoming 7th–8th Grade Spring Production.

April 15 & 16

Free Admission (General Seating)

These performances are a wonderful opportunity to see our older students shine on stage and showcase the hard work they’ve put in over the past several weeks.

If you’re planning to attend, please complete the audience survey so we can ensure a smooth and comfortable experience for everyone.

From Our Classrooms: Creativity in Action

Behind every performance and showcase is the meaningful work happening daily in our classrooms.

Celebrating Student Artists

We are proud of our Campbell House Youth Art Exhibit participants, who represented STARS with creativity and confidence. Their work reflects both their talent and their dedication.

Hands-On Learning in STEM

In Ms. Seawell’s 7th–8th grade class, students explored engineering concepts through a STEM Ball Run project, combining problem-solving with creativity in a fun and engaging way.

Theatre Exploration (5th–6th Grade)

Students brought stories to life by creating shadow puppets, retelling fairytales and folktales through imaginative performances.

Exploring New Artistic Techniques

Our 5th–6th grade students experimented with printmaking using plastic sheeting, markers, and water as part of their mythological monster projects, encouraging both creativity and exploration.

Celebrating Our Youngest Performers

A heartfelt congratulations to our 1st and 2nd grade students on their performance of The Great Ocean Rescue.

Watching our youngest learners take the stage with confidence, enthusiasm, and joy was a truly memorable experience for everyone involved. We are so proud of their hard work and bravery.

Beyond the Classroom

We are also excited to continue offering opportunities like our After-School E-Sports Gaming Club, hosted by Mr. Ribet. This club provides students with a fun and engaging space to connect, collaborate, and build new skills.
