Arts
Through a generous grant from a donor, in conjunction with the Catholic Education Foundation, Our Lady of Guadalupe School has participated in the Art Trek program. Art Trek lessons are designed not only to impart rendering, painting, and sculpting skills, but also to build student confidence and community ties. The art lessons rotate yearly so students are able to track their progress by doing the same lesson in a cycle, but every subsequent year, teachers add more complex art vocabulary, introduce a new technique, and incorporate elements of art history. Teachers make cross-curricular connections between the art standards and the standards for social studies, science, and language arts.
Performing Arts Class
At Our Lady of Guadalupe School, the Performing Arts class offers students a vibrant and enriching creative outlet during the regular school day. Taught by Mrs. Cecilia Camacho, a proud OLG alumna, this class provides every student—grades TK through 8—with a unique opportunity to explore the world of performing arts.
Meeting with each grade level once a week, Mrs. Camacho guides students through a dynamic curriculum that includes acting, vocal performance, and dance. With a passion for the arts and a deep connection to our school community, she fosters creativity, confidence, and collaboration in every session.
In addition to weekly instruction, Mrs. Camacho leads the preparation and direction of various performances throughout the school year including the beloved annual events like the Christmas Program and Spring Concert. She works closely with our Music Teacher, Mr. Sandoval, to bring these memorable performances to life, showcasing the talents and hard work of our students for the school community and families to enjoy.
The Performing Arts class not only enhances students’ artistic skills but also contributes to their overall development—cultivating self-expression, discipline, and a love for the arts that will stay with them for years to come.
