ERMA — The amount of student talent displayed at Lower Cape May Regional High School’s Festival of the Arts Thursday May 28 was mind-boggling.
The school seems to be filled with artists, woodworkers, future architects and fashion designers.
The high school’s gymnasium, hallways, library and auditorium were filled to the brim with a host of industrial and performing arts projects including fine art, photography and video, cake decorating, sculpture, child development, woodworking, architectural drawings and scale models, child development projects and baked goods, all created and designed by the students at the school.
The event drew a large enough crowd to fill the school’s parking lot.
A jazz choir and ensemble was on stage in the auditorium playing tunes from “Walking My Baby Back Home,” to Billy Joel’s “New York State of Mind.” Student saxophone and harmonica solos were part of the concert.
A “Taste of Cape May,” offered dishes from local restaurants in one of the school’s gyms as a fundraiser for the freshman class. The sophomore class was holding a Chinese auction.
High School Principal Joe Castellucci said he believed the event was the school’s largest show. Fashion design classes, formerly known as sewing classes, presented a fashion show with a runway in the school’s cafeteria.
Castellucci said students designed clothing lines and recruited other students to model the outfits. He said the event is part of the school’s programs to find “relevant activities that are career builders for the kids.”
Cape May – Governor Murphy says he doesn't know anything about the drones and doesn't know what they are doing but he does know that they are not dangerous. Does anyone feel better now?
