Morinville Community High School (MCHS) held its annual Coffee House evening Wednesday night. Despite coinciding with Game 2 of the Oilers playoffs, the event drew its usual solid audience of students, parents and families out to enjoy an evening of singers, songwriters, poets, and dancers. Additionally, student art was on sale during the event.
In the weeks leading up to Wednesday’s talent showcase, MCHS teacher and one of the event’s organizers, Tara Ricioppo, told MorinvilleNews.com that the annual event is an evening to showcase the fine arts while highlighting and raising money for a social justice cause.
This year’s event proceeds went to Catholic Social Services (CSS) to support Refugees and Newcomers. Attendees were told that the Division had raised $20,000 for the cause to date as part of its Lenten fundraiser.
Wednesday’s showcase of past and present talent included 14 individual acts taking to the stage.
