By Susan Chapman, Artclectic Coordinator
In its 28-year history, Artclectic has aimed to be more than just an event that exhibits award-winning, show-stopping, inventive artwork; it’s been an event that brings the USN community together like none other.
Whether you’re a serious art lover or an enthusiastic mingler, the Patrons Party has historically been the launching event for Artclectic Weekend. It's a time to get dressed up, grab a cocktail and delicious food, peruse an elegantly transformed gymnasium full of beautiful art, and visit with friends old and new.
Patrons Party chairs Blake Murray and Liz Stemmler have planned a stunning evening and can't wait to welcome you to kick off the weekend with some Parisian style.
Join us on Thursday, October 17 from 6:30 - 9:30 p.m. Until Monday, October 6, we are offering an early bird discount of $100 per ticket, a $50 savings off the regular $150 price.
For those who would like to support innovative teaching at USN, we hope you will join us in becoming a patron at the Innovator level for $250 per person.
We owe special thanks to INSBANK for their generous sponsorship of the Patrons Party.
Lastly, be sure to pick up a yard sign today from the USNA office, or if you can’t make it, submit a request here, and we’ll find a way to get one for you. Let’s showcase our community spirit and support for innovative teaching! 🙌

Through this profound experience, she said she plans to bring these lessons into her teaching, grounding her voice in wonder, joy, and a commitment to protecting the natural world, which she loves.
The impact of USN’s Art Department is not confined to art studios in the Christine Slayden Tibbott Center. Students often engage with art in ways that transcend traditional classroom learning, such as at the opening reception for artist Yanira Vissepó's “Fantastical Views.”
Tiger golfers have officially qualified for the region tournament, and our other teams are not far behind. Volleyball sits near the top of the district, finishing up regular season play next week with Senior Night. Girls soccer continues to hold first place in the district after another 9-0 win, and our cross country runners are chasing after some school records. To round it all out, our mountain bike team traveled to Oakfield to continue to improve on their times for the season. There’s plenty more where that came from- so be sure to come out to the River Campus, Sperling Gym, or out on the road to cheer on our Tigers before their seasons end.
Middle School volleyball and tennis teams are nearing the final games of their seasons, with the competition heating up while the Tigers play to determine their HVAC rankings. Cross country was finally able to race at the River Campus despite the heat, and our mountain biking team traveled to Oakfield, Tennessee, for a high-temperature race weekend.
The MTB team returned to the the twisty trails of tranquil Oakfield, TN on Sept 13th to take part in the second race of the season, as part of the 5-race series hosted by the NICA/TICL League.
