This year's Nicaragua Art Auction, benefitting the Durham-San Ramon Sister Communities partnership (http://www.san-ramon.org/) will be held on May 30 at 6:30pm. All DA students and faculty are encouraged to submit art work to be auctioned. Artists can choose to donate any percentage to the Nicaragua fund so it is possible to make your own profit. While bidding, it is possible to charge purchases to your Durham Academy account so students and parents can bid. Submit art work (photography, paintings, drawings, etc.) to the art room. For more information, contact Tanya Khatatba or Jordan Adair. The Nicaragua club aims to raise $13,000 to build a school in San Ramon, Durham's sister community. All money collected at the auction will support this initiative. To make a direct donation, contact Jordan Adair at jordan.adair@da.org.----

From the News and Observer's BULL'S EYE blog: Got an extra can of tuna? A local teenager, Jonathan Crawford, is organizing a concert to benefit the Food Bank of Central and Eastern North Carolina. The concert will be this Friday, May 23, at 7 p.m. in Kenan Auditorium.
Crawford, A Durham Academy 10th grader, is a drummer, but he'll defer the music to four local bands made up of students at Durham Academy and Chapel Hill High School.The concert is free, but donations of non-perishable canned foods are strongly encouraged.
