At Niu Valley Middle School, being an International Baccalaureate (IB) World School means we are deeply committed to educating the whole child, which is why Arts is a core requirement for all students.
To celebrate our students’ incredible creativity and hard work, we are thrilled to invite you to our Niu Valley Arts Faire! It’s a showcase of work from our performing and visual arts, Hip Hop and Hula clubs, as well as 6th grade ELA and Japanese.
- When: Thursday, May 21st at 5:30 PM
- Where: Niu Valley Middle School Cafeteria
- Parking: Available on campus and street parking
You will see our students expressing themselves across a wide variety of disciplines and cultures, including:
- Performances: Hula and Hip Hop routines, along with live music from our talented musical ensembles.
- Visual & Media Arts: A gallery of student artwork and innovative media pieces.
- Poetry: Beautiful poetry inspired by literature and Japanese haiku
One of the most important expectations of an IB education is “Service as Action”—the belief that our students should use their skills to actively improve their communities and care for the world around them.
At the Arts Faire, our students will be putting this into practice through two special fundraising events:
- Paws for a Cause: Students will be selling their paper-mache animals to raise money for local animal rescue efforts.
- Mālama Maunalua Adopt-a-Coral Silent Auction: We will be hosting a silent auction featuring art pieces made from reclaimed and recycled materials. All proceeds will go directly to Mālama Maunalua to support their coral reef restoration efforts right here in our own bay.
This event is a wonderful opportunity to see our IB values in action, support our students’ talents, and gather together as a Niu Valley ‘ohana. We look forward to celebrating our students’ creations with you!
