Bulloch County Schools’ Teacher of the Year, art teacher Heather Gonzales, is hosting a free “Night at the Art Museum” to showcase Southeast Bulloch Middle School’s fine arts students and faculty.

The gala is set for Saturday from 6-8 p.m., at the SEB Middle School, which is adjacent to the high school on Brooklet-Denmark Road. According to a release, the public is invited to event along with student families and faculty.

An inaugural event for the school, Gonzales said she has planned a “red-carpet experience.”

“It’s a time to celebrate creativity, talent and our community,” Gonzales said.

The Brooklet Kiwanis Club is sponsoring the event, which will feature live performances by SEB Middle’s symphonic band and chorus, a gallery of visual artwork by students, fine arts awards, plus food and refreshments.

The school’s own faculty band, “STING,” will give a public performance, as well.

In the visual arts gallery, there is a “compliment an artist” station where event guests are asked to share positive comments about works of the student artists.
