In preparation for the "SHIFT: Art from Home" Exhibition, senior students in Group B spent time repairing the walls in the Gallery. Before a new gallery show can be set up, students have to remove artwork and repair the walls. This involves spackling any nail holes or imperfections, marking those spots with blue tape, letting it dry, sanding excess spackle, and then touching up paint in those areas. After this, the work for the new show can be laid out and installed. . . . #perpich #artschool #art #performingarts #studioarts #minnesota #highschool #perpichschool #perpichartshighschool #perpichcenterforartseducation #perpichcenter #dance #literaryarts #mediaarts #music #theater #visualarts #artseducation #exhibition (at Perpich Center for Arts Education) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGszlhYHoCf/?igshid=1r98mv880ibd6

The 2020 EDU Film Festival has selected two short films by Perpich seniors. The films will be included in this year’s streamed film festival on May 29, 2020. “Breath of Spring” is about a young woman on a picnic who impulsively dances when a sentimental song plays on the radio. “Dishwater Blonde” is about a 1950’s housewife who is haunted by her husband’s mistresses. Due to the Safe at Home orders, school closures, and other efforts that Minnesotans are making to distance themselves and flatten the COVID-19 curve, the EDU Film Fest will be a virtual event, streaming via Facebook and YouTube, live on May 29th starting at 10:00 a.m. EDU’s Mission: By putting students together with filmmakers, industry professionals, and post high school educational institutions, the EDU Film Festival introduces the variety of film industry options available in Minnesota. The festival provides a time and place for emerging filmmakers to interact with each other, form friendships and partnerships, and to create a professional network of peers. EDU aims to provide young filmmakers with an authentic film festival experience, a valuable understanding of the film industry, and an opportunity to see their movies play on the big screen. . . . #perpich #artschool #art #performingarts #studioarts #minnesota #highschool #perpichschool #perpichartshighschool #perpichcenterforartseducation #perpichcenter #dance #literaryarts #mediaarts #music #theater #visualarts #artseducation (at Perpich Center for Arts Education) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAsodm2nF8w/?igshid=1tlmuc93kwryo

Even during the COVID-19 school closure, creativity continues and our Perpich music students are producing their art. Celebrating that in times of chaos and uncertainty, art continues. Our students are creative and resilient and their teachers are amazing! Here is a video of four music students that, in lieu of their concert being canceled in early April, persevere through creativity.

A note from Carol Grzybowski, School Counselor: I am well aware that it’s Spring Break and you may or may not be on your email, BUT I’d love to offer some help to anyone who needs it. Please reach out to me. I am willing to set up Zoom or Google Hangouts; video chats, audio chats, or just text chat. Any topic or need is up for discussion – from academic needs, post secondary concerns, or social emotional issues. I will be accessing email during the day – and would be happy to set up appointments so that everyone’s needs are met. These are unprecedented times…as we’ve all said and heard many times. Remember to take care of yourselves. I look forward to reconnecting… Carol (at Perpich Center for Arts Education) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-IMW8ZnOUe/?igshid=10aj80imyboq

A NOTE FROM CONN MCCARTAN, PERPICH ARTS HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL – MARCH 17, 2020 March 17, 2020 Students & Families of the Perpich School Community, Let me begin by acknowledging that we are in a strange time that offers challenges none of us have faced before. I will not pretend to have everything figured out. I will, however, commit to doing the best I can. I believe everyone is doing the best they can and that is all I can ask of each of you. What does that mean for students? First of all, it means taking care of yourself. Take seriously the recommendations for hand washing and social distancing. Get proper rest and eat proper food. Create a routine for yourself that includes time to get schoolwork done, time to get some good movement in, and time to do some good for someone else. Secondly, it means taking care of your responsibilities. Even though you aren’t physically in school, you need to attend to the learning program your instructors are providing to you. Check your email every day for instruction and materials from your teachers. Set aside time every day to complete your work. If you have fallen behind, use these first days at home to work extra hard to get caught up. Then, when you get to Friday, March 20th, stop doing school work! (Unless you’re behind and still have to catch up.) Take the spring break you have coming to you. I predict that challenging times lie ahead for us, so take that break to recharge and refocus! If you need materials that are at school, you can arrange a time to pick them up. Call us at 763-279-4200 between 8:00 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. to let us know when you are coming. If you live too far away, let your instructor know and they’ll work with school to have materials sent to you. For our families, I plan to send out emails relatively frequently during this time. I will be doing so to both maintain a connection between Perpich and your homes, and to make sure you all feel informed as we proceed through this uncharted territory. Please encourage your students to check their email and put time into their school work through Thursday this week. We are in this together and we’ll get through it together!
