Dwight-Englewood’s Upper School club Promotional Arts Society (P.A.S.) recently hosted its annual event, Project Ourway, to an appreciative crowd of friends and family in Hajjar Auditorium. Project Ourway is a showcase of student artwork ranging from videos to spoken word poetry and musical performances.
