Today, we are showcasing the Theatre Arts classes for National Arts week. Students are engaging in scripted conversations through which they are creating short scenarios. Our 7th graders are preparing for the Fall showcase on October 29. It will feature short skits created by the theatre arts students to ominous music by the 7th grade band.

🎨🎶🎭✨ Help us celebrate National Arts in Education Week | September 14–20, 2025 ✨🎭🎶🎨
In 2010, Congress passed House Resolution 275, designating the week beginning with the second Sunday in September as National Arts in Education Week. During this week, communities across the country come together to advocate, educate, and celebrate the transformative power of the arts in education.
At Surf City Middle School, we’re celebrating the creativity of our talented Sharks! 🦈 This week we’ll be spotlighting Visual Arts, Band, Theater Arts, and General Music.
Today, we’re highlighting our visual art students, who just completed an Identity Project using “Hello My Name Is” tags. Instead of using words, students drew symbols and images to represent who they are. This project was not only a fun introduction to the year, but also an opportunity to explore symbolism in art and learn more about each other. 💡🎨
Stay tuned all week as we showcase the incredible ways our students shine through the arts! 🌟
