Lincolnshire students explore the arts

Music, cooking, theater and dance were among the art forms on display Wednesday for 800 Daniel Wright Junior High School students to explore.

Students chose from nearly 50 art forms to investigate as part of Explore the Arts Day.

Presenters from Stevenson High School, area businesses and members of the community led the workshops.

Students in grades 5 through 8 rotated through the various sessions, and grade-level assemblies took place with performances by the Kalapriya Indian Dance Company of Chicago.

The District 103 arts program rotates annually between Daniel Wright Junior High, Half Day School and Laura B. Sprague School.
