What is RoxArts? It is the Roxboro Enrichment Art Program (formerly known as REAP). We are a non-profit group of parents that raises funds to bring additional art education to Roxboro Elementary and Middle Schools.  Each school receives approximately $8500 a year.  These funds are used to bring artists into the classroom for artist residencies or all school performances.  The middle school students will attend performances at the Cleveland Playhouse including: Gershwin, Tuck Everlasting and Anne Frank.  The middle school will also host another exciting jazz week.  Every grade will have a special activity.

 

Please plan to attend! SAVE THE DATE !!

HAVE AN ITEM TO DONATE? Or other questions, please call Chesca Hadden at 932-7169.

 

RoxArts is also soliciting items for the auctions.  These can be almost anything.  If you have a business, you could offer an hour of work (i.e. a plumber donates an hour of work) or donates an aspect of the business’s service (i.e. maid service, closet organization, window cleaning ,etc.)  Besides donating for a great cause, your business receives publicity to expand your current clientele.  Please consider donating- contact Chesca Hadden at 932-7169.

 

The REAP/RoxArts benefit is for everybody and anybody.

 

“Each year Roxboro parents say to me that they felt they couldn’t attend the benefit.  When I would question them as to why, more often than not, the response was I can’t afford to donate a lot of money to the school.  I think that is one of the biggest misperceptions about this event.  Yes, there are the “big-ticket” items that generate a good amount of money for the schools, but the vast majority of items/services are really inexpensive and reasonably priced.  The evening is a fund-raiser yes, but it is also an opportunity to meet and socialize with other Roxboro parents from both the elementary school and the middle school.  The Roxboro elementary parents are familiar with the event from their children’s days at the elementary, but the larger Roxboro Middle community including families from Boulevard, Coventry, & Fairfax Elementary schools are not as familiar.  Even if you don’t purchase or bid on anything, I would encourage all of our parents to attend and enjoy the beverages, food,  and music.  Come and meet other parents and teachers, administrators, board members, and community members.”
