Performing Arts Program
Thank you so much for your generous donations to the Cobb County Performing Arts Program. This year, the Second graders will have the privilege of attending Snow White performed by the Atlanta Ballet at the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Center on Thursday, February 16. This enchanting fantasy stars all of your favorites – Prince Charming, the wicked Queen, and of course, Snow White. It’s the perfect way to begin
a lifelong love of the arts – an event the whole class will remember happily ever after! In March, the Capitol City Opera will be at Ford presenting its version of “Hansel & Gretel” and in May the Lisa Chyn Dance Duo will present a program entitled: “China Through Dance”.
