School Wide Enrichment

The School Wide Enrichment Committee designs and executes programs to enrich and enhance students’ academic experience. The theme for 2011 – 2012 is “Art Around the World.” Students will be introduced to visual and performing arts from three different continents across the globe -- Africa in the fall and Asia and South America in the spring. Look for rotating world arts & crafts displays in the library and student created artwork inspired by the different regions on school bulletin boards when you visit Ox Ridge! For more information, please contact co-chairs Sarah Demark or Jennifer Fallon.
