A crowd of about 250 art lovers were on hand as Rolland-Warner Middle School hosted its annual Fine Arts Night on March 29.
Students offered an evening of band performances, theater performances, art displays and working artists. Continuing a six-year tradition that began at Zemmer Junior High, and now at Rolland-Warner Middle School, students also hosted the Empty Bowls community service event.
Attendees were asked to make a donation of at least $5 for a meal of hot soup served up in 190 bowls crafted by Rolland-Warner art students. A record $1,435 was raised to help the soup kitchen at First Presbyterian Church in Lapeer.
More than 100 students were involved in the Fine Arts Night, including performers in the drama “Sorry, Wrong Number,” musicians in the 6th and 7th grade solo and ensemble, and visual arts students who demonstrated their work as part of the “Art Walk.” Another 40 students volunteered to help out before, during, and after the event.
