Arts
St. Barnabas School has a thriving art community. Confidence building, poise, articulation, creativity, and strengthening social skills are just a few benefits the fine arts can offer students.

THEATER ARTS
Our annual school musical is spectacular. Students in grades 5-8 are involved with all production components, from cast to crew. Dance, vocals, set & prop design, sound, and lighting offer something for all. Past performances include Seussical, The Wizard of Oz, Little Mermaid, Mary Poppins, and Oklahoma. The Theater program is formative for many of our students, and many of our graduates continue with great success in the cast or crew at area high schools.

ART FAIR
Our Annual Art Fair is a collaborative effort of our art teacher and the FSA to showcase the artwork of each student. This celebratory event honors the artistic talent of each student as families mingle among the art pieces and enjoy face painting, concessions, and a Culture Club craft fair.
