Please congratulate our dancers for such creativity in showcasing their talents at Miami High this week!

On Tuesday, December 18, 2018, the AVPA's Visions Dancers participated at the Student Choreography Showcase at Miami High Senior High School.

Through the Visual and Performing Arts Department Division of Academics, each year students in 8th through 12th grade are encouraged to create new dance works and set them on themselves and other students in their dance classes.

Sketchnote for Students

Students, faculty, staff and stakeholders are welcome to participate in a workshop that will help with note-taking while engaging all the senses.

You DO NOT HAVE TO BE AN ARTIST to take this workshop.  Sketchnote is about BIG IDEAS and how to retain information better using the concept of...wait for it..."doodling".

Yes, that is correct, doodling.  Interested?

The workshops will be after school on Thursday, December 6th from 2:30PM-4:30PM in room 1166.

Be ready to get your DOODLE ON!
