NORWICH – The recently formed Save Arts and Music Education advocacy group will host its first-ever student exposition from 4 to 6 p.m. Sunday at the United Church of Christ, 11 W. Main St.

The SAME Art and Music Expo will feature its very own art gallery and a variety of musical performances, representing every grade level and all four schools within the Norwich City School district, according to high school music teacher Mary Mayo and Perry Browne grade school art teacher Kathy Pfeifer.

The pair of educators – who work closely with SAME – will also give a brief presentation on the importance of music and the arts in the educational process. Encouraging the community as a whole to voice its opinion on the topic is a priority, as well, they said.
