SCPA STUDENTS GET TO PERFORM AND ATTEND PREMIERE OF LOCAL MADE MOVIE “THE PUBLIC”
|

SCPA students got the chance over spring break to perform at the recent red carpet premiere of the locally made film “The Public” at the Taft Theatre.
“The Public” is a movie that is based in modern day Cincinnati,OH at the Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County. The movie is about how an act of civil disobedience turns into a standoff with police when homeless people in Cincinnati take over the public library to seek shelter from the bitter cold.
SCPA students even got to walk the red carpet along side some of the stars of the film like writer and director, Emilio Estevez. The film involves other Hollywood stars like Alec Baldwin, Taylor Schilling, and Gabrielle Union.

|
|
|
Jeffrey Samuel Jr. is a 5th grade visual art and drama major at SCPA. Jeffrey just won the 2019 National Missing Children’s Day Poster Contest for the state of Ohio. His submission can be seen pictured above.
Jeffrey says ” I created my poster because it’s representing a safe house for all children. This house is for all children in need. In my poster there is a trail of heart that represent the pathway to love and care. These children should come home so they can have the attention that they need. I wanted to make this poster to show the world that my artwork can make them happy. I want to make the world brighter with my artwork and stop all of the kidnapping.”

3rd GRADERS BECOME WAX FIGURES FOR BLACK HISTORY MONTH!
|
|
SCPA 3rd Graders got to learn about black history up-close and personal with their peers this past February when their peers became the historical black figures themselves. Each student in the 3rd grade was assigned a famous man or women in black history to portray in their wax museum. Students had to do research, learn, and write facts about their historical figure. They also got the chance to dress up as their historical black figure. The wax museum took over the entire first floor of SCPA and opened twice in one day. Once for SCPA students and staff and after school an hour prior to the high school black history show for family members and guests.
