The Fullerton School District’s April 14 board meeting celebrated student projects and art accomplishments. The Superintendent’s Student Advisory Board presented their community service projects, ranging from making gifts and visiting with residents at Parkside Medical Facility, to organizing and delivering baskets of Thanksgiving food to families in need, to hosting a Multicultural Assembly that celebrated the FSD’s diverse student populations through dance, song, and food.

Each FSD junior high and K-8 grade school had its Associated Student Body approve the project, and 7th and 8th-grade teams organized and implemented the projects under the mentorship of a teacher advisor.

The annual Wonder of Water Visual Art winners received their awards, sponsored by the nonprofit “Go Fish Foundation,” which works to educate youth about fishing and how this hobby is environmentally challenged.

First and second-grade Guitar Club participants from Richman and Pacific Drive Elementary Schools played for the audience. Guitar Club provides basic instrumental understanding for students interested in joining the Nicolas Junior High Mariachi Club and class in 7th and 8th grade.

FSD Board members thanked “All the Arts for All the Kids Foundation” for its foundational student art lessons, which have exposed every FSD student to visual, musical, dance, and theater for over 20 years.

Today, the organization commits $13,000 per year to FSD, enabling every elementary school to host a family art night where families experience a part of the art lessons their children receive each year. All the Arts held its annual Art Auction on Saturday, April 25, at the Fullerton Community Center.
