Fencing at the Fox Island Arts Festival

North Haven's normal fifth through twelfth grade school population of 39 students tripled when their counterparts from Vinalhaven joined them for the Fox Islands Arts Festival May 29. Fencing on the ball field, choral music at the church, transformations (3-D art from trash) at the Legion Hall and granite-cutting behind Waterman's Community Center were four of the 12 offerings at the festival, held on North Haven. About 120 staff and students came from Vinalhaven to attend. Sponsored by Vinalhaven School, Vinalhaven's Partners in Island Education, the North Haven Community School, North Haven Arts & Enrichment, and with grants from the Island Institute and the Maine Community Foundation, all fifth through twelfth graders from both island schools were invited to take part in the morning workshops.
