<p class="fontlook"><B>CARROLLTON’S INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE ART AND DRAMA TAKE NYC BY STORM!!</B>


<p class="fontlook">In early December, fifty-four of Carrollton’s IB visual art and drama students charged into the Big Apple to be a part of the culture that only New York can offer.  While the Drama students attended workshops with IB Drama teacher, Mrs. Zena Rodriguez and College Counselor, Ms. Carol Recicar during the day, the Art students visited museums such as the Metropolitan, MOMA, and the Guggenheim with High School Art teachers, Ms. Kari Snyder and Ms. Patricia Wiesen.  A special tour was arranged for some of the students to visit our sister school in Manhattan, Convent of the Sacred Heart (91st Street).  All students attended Broadway shows at night and went to the top of the Empire State building to catch a glimpse of the twinkling New York night sky.  The trip was made complete with a Sunday morning mass at Saint Patrick’s Cathedral followed by Ice Skating in Bryant Park while a Frank Sinatra song played and snow was falling.  “It was an incredible experience for the students”, said art teacher Ms. Patricia Wiesen, “while the art students got the chance to see some of Van Gogh’s most important pieces, the drama students were learning actual pieces from a Broadway show taught by an actress from the show itself.  This is something you cannot get in the classroom.  We are grateful that we could give our students this gift.”
