2017 F.M.S. Festival of the Arts

The 2017 annual F.M.S. Festival of the Arts was held on the evening of May 4, 2017.

This year's festival featured exhibits throughout the building of more than 700 art works created by students in grades 5 though 8 and Art Club. Informal musical performances by small wind instrumental ensembles greeted festival guests in the North Lobby. The F.M.S. Chorus featuring students from grades 6-8 performed a program of songs that represent how we experience a "Day in the Life". Students who received art award ribbons at the festival were chosen by special guest judges and announced at the Festival Finale. These students also had their art works featured in a special exhibit at the Acushnet Art Show in June. Great job to all of our F.M.S. artists and musicians!

Special thanks to Music Director Mr. Shanbrun, administrators Mrs. Silvia, Mrs. Dupont, and Dr. Donovan, our custodian Mr. Smith, and the grade 8 student exhibit helpers (Olivia, Zach, Seth and Ragan) whose support and assistance made this evening possible!
