SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - Not only did internationally acclaimed illustrator and artist Rafael López came to South Lake Tahoe last week to speak to local first graders during Gift of Literacy day at Lake Tahoe Community College, but he also stopped by South Tahoe High School (STHS) and worked with students on a large mural.

In just six hours López showed the students how to create not only a work of art from several large blank panels, he also showed how to create community by collaboration and teamwork and celebrate diversity, literacy and aspiration.

There are many different mediums artists use for their work: clay, paint, pencil, metal and stone just to name a few. For an art project at U.C. Santa Cruz, South Tahoe High grad Daniel Kagan used something many wouldn't have thought of, his brother's mental health records.

Join South Tahoe High's Performing and Visual Arts Booster Association this Saturday, December 17 from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. for their annual PABA Gala, just before the evening's performance of White Christmas.

This is a great event for the entire family. There will be Holiday Cookies and treats by Cakes by Grace, Don Ewing, The Flour Girl, Sugar Pine Bakery and Starbucks, as well as egg nog, cider and hot chocolate.

It’s a Wonderful Life will be playing in the viewing room and Santa will be there for the kids to take photos with.
