TALENTS SHINE THROUGH IN TRI-DISTRICT ART SHOW AND CONCERT

With the recent defeat of the AHES budget, the eyes of Atlantic Highlands focus on the schools. A meeting between finance committees of the borough and school has been convened, and residents anxiously await what if any, budget cuts will be recommended.

But while that saga plays out, the taxpayer can enjoy the fruits of our community.

Those fruits will be in full bloom this Friday evening at Henry Hudson Regional High School. The annual tri-district art show is slated to be held, and aspiring artists can be found throughout the halls. Not only will the drawings and paintings of our youths be on display, but a musical concert is also being offered after the art show.

If there is one thing that our schools can agree on, is that Atlantic Highlands and Highlands have some talented up and coming artists. Works from both public and parochial schools will be offered, and this is yet another example of our community coming together to celebrate our children’s accomplishments. Those teachers that encouraged our artists to do their best deserve our thanks and the volunteers that make the show happen deserve kudos as well.

The art show is an important event for our children. It teaches them that there are many avenues in life to explore, and that it can be cool to be artistic. School isn’t just about learning facts, it’s about developing hidden gifts and refining talents. This tri-district show has been held for several years now, and if past years are any indication, Friday night’s show will be full of masterpieces and sweet music.
