Brookhaven Elementary hosts annual ‘Evening of the Arts' celebration

MORGANTOWN, (WBOY) — Brookhaven Elementary School rolled out the red carpet on Wednesday for its third Evening of the Arts, an exciting community celebration that showcased the power of creativity and artistic expression. This free event invited families, students, and neighbors to come together for a night full of inspiring visual and performing arts. 'We're working on a giant Brook Trout sculpture/painting that is going to be about 16 feet long,' Brookhaven Elementary School Art Teacher Jason Jaros said. 'It will be something that these kids can look at and remember this experience for a long time.' Gov. Morrisey announces creation of 'Tourism Works' program Attendees had the chance to leave their mark on a collaborative community art project, which will serve as a lasting tribute to the event's spirit of creativity and connection. This unique piece of art will be proudly displayed in the Brookhaven Cafeteria later this spring, offering a visual reminder of the shared artistic journey. 'I think that the arts is—is crucial for a well-rounded education. These kids have a chance to come in here and, you know, look at problems and things that have more than one right answer. So, it gives them a chance to express themselves,' Jaros said. Students at Brookhaven Elementary have raised rainbow trout from eggs as part of the Trout in the Classroom project, a collaboration with WVU and Trout Unlimited. The trout eggs were supplied by the fish hatchery in Bowden. Guests were also treated to a diverse array of performances, interactive art exhibits, and hands-on workshops for all ages.
