It has been a busy first week in art. We are learning about lines and the art work of Robert Reed. Elementary school is in the process of completing a collaborative paper quilt.










This years Senior High Art & Drama students have been busy planning, designing, and developing their dramatic face masks! 🎭
We can’t wait to see their creative ideas come to life. Stay tuned to see the final products! 👀✨Pictured are a few student from the class.





🎶 Our Class Art Songs Are LIVE! 🎶
As part of this year’s “Get to Know You” project, students from each grade shared fun facts about themselves and their classmates. Those responses were then turned into their very own Class Art Songs! 🎤🎵
Several classes even helped choose the music genre, male or female voice, and other creative details that made each song unique to their class.
They turned out SO cute, and we love how each song captures the personalities of our students! 💚💛
🎧 The songs are now posted on our YouTube channel!
Take a few minutes to listen—you might just hear something that sounds familiar! 😊
