Almost $3000 was raised to benefit SDA Arts through their fourth annual Cabaret Night. The event featured student performances by members of the band and the acting classes. Attendees were also treated to appetizers and desserts prepared by the culinary arts class. Another faction of the function was a raffle featuring prizes such as theater tickets and spa products. All proceeds from both the raffle and the actual event went towards SDA Arts.
The event showed the audience all of the talent our school possesses, and provided a fun night to enjoy the arts.
One fan was Rachel Huddleston, junior: “I enjoyed the food, the musical numbers were entertaining, and the acts were well-rehearsed.”
