Artist for Kids Workshop

Dear Parents,

  We were fortunate enough to have Megan come from Artists for Kids to do a sculpture project with us that involved drawing, shaping wire, tearing, and using glue to cover the base. Student work is currently on display in the front glass case if you get a chance to drop in.
