101 artists in Brannoxtown NS!
People flocked from far and near on Friday evening, 23 March, to Brannoxtown NS to view a very unique art exhibition. One hundred and one artists had their work on display –- the 101 children in the school.
The event was organised by the Parent Teacher Association of the school to raise funds while creating a very different type of event to include a social element! The event was from 6–8pm and spectators were coming and going the whole time!
The children had the opportunity to proudly show off their wonderful work to parents, grandparents, aunties, uncles, neighbours and friends, while the PTA had the opportunity to sell the art work and raise money for the school.
A very unusual raffle was held! Parents and children were presented with photos of the teachers and they had to match names with photos. It sounds easy, but not when you consider that none of the teachers were above the age of eight!! Apparently there were a few correct entries and winners will be announced at school next week.
Well done to all concerned for arranging and supporting such an enjoyable event!
