Dear Friends
It is a privilege to welcome each of you to our Fine Arts Festival today and it has been a joy working on this worthwhile project It is my prayer that participating in this event will enrich your studentsrsquo experience in the fine arts and will ultimately assist in developing the arts in our communities
I have also appreciated the opportunity to get more acquainted with our adjudicators and my colleagues from the various
schools who share this same passion for the arts I encourage you to thank the adjudicators the teachers (from your own school as well as others) and letrsquos not forget to show our appreciation to those who are volunteering their time to help make this day run more smoothly
Again I thank you for your participation in this event and appreciate your patience as we worked out some of the kinks in the past several weeks I am looking forward to seeing the fruits of our labors as the students learn the importance of using and sharing their God-given gifts to His glory
