Student Performances

Sulphur Springs Union School District, La Mesa Junior High School and Golden Valley High School Instrumental and Choir Programs

We are also excited to share with you that our District students and students from William S. Hart Union High School District Choirs and instrumental music programs will be joining together at this event. They will be performing on stage starting at 9:30 AM in the Theater at Golden Valley High School. Both school Districts have a strong focus on supporting the arts, and we are excited that we have our students joining together to open our event. 

At the Resource Fair, there will be an Art Contest for your child to participate in. Please see more information below. 

We invite all families to encourage their child to participate in our District-wide art contest with the theme “Many Families, One Community.” This theme celebrates the unique stories, cultures, traditions, and connections that make our school community strong and welcoming.

Art is a powerful way for students to express who they are, what family means to them, and how we all come together as one community. 

We hope families will take a moment to talk with their child about the theme and encourage them to create a piece that reflects their own story. 

All art entries can be submitted to the school office and will be displayed at the Many Families, One Community Family Resource Fair. 

We look forward to seeing the many ways our students show that, together, we are Many Families, One Community.

Directions for each art piece:

Permission slips to participate in the art contest are attached to this email. 

All art entries are due to the school office no later than 12:00 p.m. on Friday, February 20, 2026.

 Wishing you and your family a wonderful weekend. Thank you.
