Bond Academy was a flurry of activity during the evening of March 4, 2019. Our Arts Night was a huge success. The theme for the evening was Broadway Musicals. Students and their teachers decorated their bulletin boards with displays representing a particular Broadway musical creating a wonderful art gallery of works throughout our halls. Grade four curators escorted visitors around to different art displays, and junior choir buskers entertained in the hallways. We had a wonderful wine and pizza dinner for parents and delicious baked goods for dessert. 

The activities then moved to the gymnasium where the Senior Band entertained spectators prior to our drama club and senior ensemble performance of A Visit to Broadway.  The drama club has been working on this production since October rehearsing early every Thursdays morning, and Senior Ensemble members not already in drama club joined for lunch-hour rehearsals in January and February. A Visit to Broadway was a musical review in which students attending the fictional secondary school Viola Desmond Collegiate Institute discussed, argued and learned about several Broadway musicals in order to make an informed decision as to what show they should see on their drama club trip to New York City. Bond Academy’s drama club and senior ensemble presented a slick, entertaining 45 minutes of scenes and songs to the great enjoyment of everyone in the audience.

Thank you to all who had a hand in this exciting event - teachers, staff, students and parents! Your help and support made Arts Night 2019  a great success and a total of $543 was raised for the Breakfast Club of Canada.
