Thanks

Thanks to all the members of the Humanities Society and to our advisor Mrs. Gelastopoulos and to Mr. Arteaga for making this a successful year for the club. I hope the club continues next year and for those who were involved this year to keep your appreciation of the arts.

Also, congratulations to the graduating class of 2006, good luck in your futures. For all you underclassmen, keep focused on your goals and you will fulfill them.

Go to the theatre. Write. Paint something. Pick up the camera and get some angles. Read a book. Recite poetry. Watch people eat, sleep, play basketball, baseball, soccer, work, yawn, blink...develop an eye for observation. Find a coffeeshop to discuss the arts (you can find me behind the counter at Caffe Salotto this summer). Pick up a musical instrument and start jamming. Paint your room. Film a movie with some friends. Visit Balboa Park, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Downtown and La Jolla, go on a hunt for San Diego galleries, go to a Kettner Night in Little Italy (July 28th), stand up and dance, make a craft with a sibling, check out a book from your library...etc. Neverending list of the artsy. Why's that?
Because...


Thanks and take care,

ART IS LIFE.

Relay for Life and Taste of the Arts

Hello!

I hope your enjoying your last few weeks of this school year. We still have much more in store for the club so don't blink.

This weekend is the American Cancer Society Relay for Life and the Chula Vista Taste of the Arts!

The Relay for Life will take place at Hilltop Elementary from Saturday at 10am to 10 am on Sunday. Its a 24 hour event that exhibits the sense of community we have and share with those afflicted with cancer. There will be plenty of food vendors, entertainment groups, and activities such as sports, games, karaoke and the signature Relay Survivor Walk, Luminaria lighting and etc. Please come down to the school and show your support for our loved ones.

For those of you who are on the Arts With Hearts Team, please arrive at Hilltop by 9:30am if possible and don't forget to bring your fundraised money. DO wear basketball style shorts/ clothing and comfortable shoes because we are the "Olympic Basketball" Team. The theme of the Relay this year is "Our Olympics" so we decided on bball. Also bring snacks and drinks to put in our cooler. During the relay, each team is expected to have at least one person on the track walking during the 24 hours. We will take turns and make sure each person has rest, bring lawn chairs or blankets to make yourselves comfortable, I will try to bring my camping tent. I hope that everyone makes a great effort to show up and really have a chance to participate in something genuinely meaningful.

If you aren't on the team, please come and visit!!! This event welcomes the public with open arms so please stop by!

We all know someone who has been touched by cancer. There are so many of us who are concerned about this disease and want to make a difference. The American Cancer Society's Relay For Life® is a great way to take a stand against cancer.
At the event, we’ll camp out overnight, walk around the track, and meet lots of new people. There is an incredible tribute to cancer survivors and caregivers to kick off the event and a moving ceremony honoring those who have fought the disease. I can say Relay is truly unlike anything else you’ll ever do.

" The story - Two of the ancient world’s greatest rulers meet, seduce and conquer in this dramatic tale. Julius Caesar, ruler of the world’s largest empire, defeats his rival Pompey and pursues him to Egypt. There, he meets the infamous Queen Cleopatra, joint ruler of Egypt with her brother Ptolemy. But Cleopatra wants it all – the country, the throne and Caesar. So in history’s sexiest political coup, Cleopatra bewitches Julius Caesar into helping her overthrow Ptolemy and enthrone her as sole Pharaoh of Egypt." - sdopera.com
