Our girls go to a Magnet School. It's a public school whereas they have extra studies in a certain area, for example, our school is a performing and visual arts Magnet school. They still dedicate time to visual arts and performing arts, which has sadly been cut in the budgets by most school districts all across California. You also don't have to live in the school's zone or district to attend, but do have to apply and be accepted, which is how we attend this school.
Every year, at the end of the school year, an open house is held for a few hours in the beginning of the school day. All over the school campus, classes are performing, instructing, viewing, and displaying artwork they've worked on through the school year.
Hannah's class showcased their terra cotta head sculptures. They've been working on them for weeks and then let them dry and then into the kiln they went. They were all nicely done and unique!
This evening, a Twilight Concert was held so that all the 4th graders could demonstrate what they've learned this school year on their recorders, and then the beginning and advanced bands held a concert following. 
We are so very blessed for our girls to attend such a wonderful school. Hannah loves art and I think is finding a new enjoyment and appreciation for the performing arts as well. It was a great day and our school is filled with very talented and amazing students!
