Building For The Future: Fine Arts Tour 2023
To keep the talent and enthusiasm for the arts rolling in, the Fine Arts Department stages a tour of the consortium schools each year to showcase the wide variety of elective Fine Arts opportunities available to Stevenson students.
Nearly 150 Stevenson students toured their old stomping grounds at Aptakisic, Daniel Wright, Twin Grove and Woodlawn schools last Friday, performing and sharing their artistic skills and collaborative work in front of eighth graders in an assembly setting.
The hope is to stir an interest in participation in the Fine Arts with students who will be freshmen at Stevenson next year.
Students who led the Tour were selected by the Fine Arts Faculty to represent the academic programs in which they participate (Art, Dance, Band, Choir, Guitar, Orchestra, Theatre). A Theatre Tech student crew was also involved in running the day.
It was a full schedule of fun activities and movement from school to school that tuckered out even Pat Riot (pictured above).

Chinese New Year Celebration A Big Hit!
It was the happiest of New Year Celebrations as the National Chinese Honor Society, Chinese Club and Taiwanese Culture Club, worked together last weekend to host a Chinese New Year event at Stevenson.
There were approximately 400 people from the community in attendance as club members divided to man both the food stations and the game sites. Parent volunteers also helped by cooking and preparing various kinds of authentic Chinese foods, such as dumplings, spring rolls, cold noodles and boba tea.
E-board members planned games that would appeal to participants of all ages: slime making, calligraphy, lantern-making, coloring, riddles, Chinese chess and checkers, facial/arm tatoos, jump rope, table tennis and dance videos.
