MLK NIGHT - TUESDAY, JANUARY 19
It’s a Surprise Party, of sorts! The theme this year... ‘Color My World’. Art inspires collaboration, community, dreams, and emotion. Students from a variety of grade levels will be performing a diverse array of poetry, art, music and dance at the high school. We welcome special guest artist, John Jansky. He will create a portrait in a matter of minutes. Who will he paint? Well, that’s the surprise! Come celebrate Dr. King with our students and John Jansky. Here’s a hint, the portrait is of a person who entered college at the age of 15! Any guesses? Join us in the Performing Arts Center at Ladue High School on Tuesday, January 19 at 7:00 p.m. to find out.
