2022 Gala for the Arts in Suffolk Public Schools

Here’s your opportunity to support the music, theater and visual arts programs in Suffolk Public Schools by attending the Suffolk Education Foundation’s annual Gala in Celebration of the Arts!   Buy your Gala tickets now for a fabulous night of entertainment by our students.  The seventh annual Celebration of the Arts will welcome you on Wednesday, March 16, from 6:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the Hilton Garden Inn Riverfront (100 East Constance Road.)  Dress attire is encouraged.

Proceeds will directly benefit the fine arts programs in Suffolk Public Schools. Over the years, SEF has returned more than $40,000 directly to the theater, art, chorus, band and orchestra programs who shared their talents.

  This year’s theme is “American Road Trip.”  Award-winning entertainment by student orchestras, bands, and chorus groups will feature song selections to travel along America's great highways, celebrate its fantastic cities and states, and marvel at its landmarks and natural beauty. Song selections could include My Shot from Hamilton, Georgia on My Mind, Take Me Home Country Roads, New York New York, Route 66, and Dancing in the Streets. Groups scheduled to perform include Northern Shores Elementary School Chorus, Nansemond River High School Jazz Band, John Yeates Middle School Chorus, Lakeland High School Jazz Combo, John Yeates Middle School Jazz Band, and King’s Fork High School Chorus.  Also reflecting the “American Road Trip” theme will be displays of the original creations of student artists from all elementary, middle and high schools that will amaze you.
