Wading River School was awash with students, families and friends at the annual Evening of the Arts on April 10. Upon entering the school, cheerful music filled the air, indicating the festive arts celebration inside. Dozens of students in grades four and five served as art ambassadors, art teachers Daria Browne and Rosemarie Petruzzellis greeted parents and grandparents as students showed off their works displayed throughout the hallways. A fun art scavenger hunt encouraged participants to read the placards beside the colorful art pieces created throughout the year including pumpkins, sunflowers, butterflies, trees, self-portraits and more.

The festivities continued with the third grade orchestra – directed by music teachers Erin Fasano and Jenilyn Smith – performing several popular selections and culminating with Queen’s “We Will Rock You.”

The evening was a joyful celebration of creativity, imagination and connection in Shoreham-Wading River.
