Springfield High School's Celebration of the Arts
The name does not do this extravaganza justice: it should be called Celebration of Students. Somewhere between 75% and 85% of the Springfield HS (Delaware county) students take part in this annual ritual. The walls of the school are lined with images created by students and displays of student work occupy seemingly every nook and cranny of the HS. Student work also includes architectural models, advanced carpentry, wood-working and sculpture.
The highlight for us at PennCORD was the What is Freedom? wall created by Mr. Bill McRae's and Mr. Mike Mann's students. Both teachers worked together to create not only a model of inter-disciplinary collaboration, but to help create an original and thought provoking public display of what freedom looks like to their students. Government students from Mr. McRae's class worked with Mr. Mann's in his photo lab to visually represent what they felt freedom is. These are not images of flags and bald eagles, vaunted symbols of freedom they are, but personal musings on what freedom means.
