CELEBRATE CREATIVITY, BUILD COMMUNITY!

MJHS PTSA is hosting our 3rd annual Art Postcards fundraiser to benefit the Visual Arts Department.

Event is open to the public and free to attend.

Monday, April 23rd 6:30-8PM Grant Park Coffeehouse

This is a unique cluster opportunity with an art show and sale of original, postcard-sized artworks by our middle school students, our high school students, and our community creatives. We appreciate the generous contribution of everyone's time and talent. You don’t need to be an artist to submit to this show - just be willing to support MJHS.

Thank you in advance for your generosity. Please spread the word and invite other artists and friends to participate.

Power Up 



Power Up by Atlanta Public Schools is a comprehensive portfolio of summer enrichment programs available at schools throughout the District. Innovative programs such as STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics) Works will transform the way students think and learn, inspire confidence, and empower participants with the tools to be college and career ready. For your art lovers, the Amazing Art program offers young, talented and gifted students the opportunity to use artistic skills to express their ideas and feelings. The program also will promote critical thinking and reinforce mathematics and English Language Arts standards. Whether it's science, cooking, technology, sports and physical activities, or music, art, games, drama, Power Up is sure to have a session for every child to explore. https://www.atlantapublicschools.us/powerup
