It’s National Teacher Appreciation Week, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the amazing art and music instructors at CSMA! Thank you for all you do to help provide access to arts education for all in our community. Students, while you’re on campus this week, be sure to share a note of gratitude on our Teacher Appreciation Wall in the lobby.
CSMA in the Community
CSMA Junior Orchestra had its first concert April 28
The Sunnyvale Youth Philharmonic and the CSMA Junior Orchestra by the SYP presented “Where Joy Blooms” on April 28. Their spring concert took place at De Anza College’s Visual and Performing Arts Center. Their performance wove together the colorful narratives of Korsakov’s Scheherazade and Capriccio Espagnol, and the exultant pronouncements of Beethoven’s Egmont. A celebration of hope, resilience, and the blossoming of joy. Well done!
YCS Day of Service 2025
Twenty-five local high school students from the Peninsula Bridge Program volunteered at CSMA during the recent YCS Day of Service. They helped art school staff prepare and organize art materials and restructured the CSMA art library. Thank you for your service, students!
