Parkland High School celebrated its annual Festival of the Arts with music, dance, art, acting and good food before the end of the school year.
On hand were bands and orchestras from various schools throughout the district as well as artwork from all the elementary schools.
Children had the opportunity to create art in various forms including sparkle filled pens.
Also appearing were many Disney characters including those from “Maleficent,” “The Little Mermaid,” (Ursula) and “Tangled,” (Mother Gothel.)
