Fiesta de Arte, mucho gracias to all !



Peirce artist - Ashley - Fiesta de Arte 2011

Many thanks to all who helped make the first Fiesta de Arte fundraiser a wonderful evening at Peirce School.   The Peirce community turned out - reports have the attendance at 275 attendees - to support the many student artists at Peirce School.

Much thanks and appreciation to Beth Tenney & Kim Biggs and the many volunteers that helped create a wonderfully artful "street fair" in the hallways of Peirce. 
Appreciation is also to be shared with Vaugh High School who provided the tasty culinary delights.  The food received as much rave as the student artists.  One parent was overheard commenting that "this was the best food I've ever had in a school". 

As the art displays delighted and inspired all, so did the activity tables of Origami, Face Painting, Balloon Tying, and Silly Family Portraits. 

Community musicians seranaded the Fiesta-goers throughout the evening including, Zane, Isaiah (on guitars), Hillary Bayley quartet (Music for Kids), Peirce drum circle, & SDS Trio (featuring our own Mr. Strening). 

*** Special thanks for the donations of time, talent & treasure from our many Peirce parents ***

Rebecca Eichenlaub, Morgan Anderson, Christine Pinalto, Ms. Tarrant, & Maynor Vidal - all shared their photography skills.

From decorating the hallways, to hanging art, arranging the auction displays, and clean-up there were fabulous volunteers that helped us stage this event.

Thank you to our many teachers & Ms. Beers (our contract art teacher) who gathered classes to create collaborative pieces to sell  and donated auction items themselves.
