Lights, Curtains, Camera! RDASC Spring Arts Showcases and other 2009-2010 End-of-the-Year Events


What a month May was!

RDASC families, staff, and friends said goodbye to the 2009-2010 school year with a series entertaining and educational events. Festivities began with a Family Fitness Night hosted by our Alamo program, in which students and parents battled for kickball bragging rights while receiving healthy living tips and treats. On May 11th, our George Peabody program hosted a workshop on "Parenting Strategies for Success" and on May 8th, the Richmond District Neighborhood Center held its annual Family Fun Fest for all Richmond District residents. The Family Fun Fest was a humongous hit and featured fun family activities ranging from bouncy houses to rock climbing and cotton candy.

May was also the month of our long-awaited and much-prepared RDASC Spring Arts Showcase. The 16th of its kind, the showcase was an end-of-the year celebration of all of the hard work RDASC artists and students did throughout the year. Students gave performances in dance, music, poetry and puppetry led by our wonderful professional artist-teachers. Each performance was derived from inspiration from our partnership with the San Francisco Botanical Gardens and was created in the theme of "The World According to Us". After the show, families, staff and students gathered in the cafeteria to enjoy a meal generously donated by Panda Express. It was a great time, and we look forward to the festivities in 2011!
