After-School » Art in the Afternoon

Art in the Afternoon

Art in the Afternoon is a free after-school class for Palms Middle School students interested in a directed, hands-on art experience.

Classes are from 3:06pm to 4:06pm on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. There are no classes on Tuesdays, holidays, or shortened days. There are no late buses for this program.

Classes are taught by art teachers Ms. Goldin (Room 162) and Ms. Purdy (Room 165).

The program culminates with a wonderful Art Show in the library, attended by our resident artists, their families, friends, faculties and members of the community. Attendees are also treated to musical performances from members of our band and orchestras!

End-of-Year Art Show

Please join the resident artists from our Art in the Afternoon program to view their work and enjoy classical music performed by band and orchestra students.
