All Kindergarten classes helped create this beautiful sunflower mural in the elementary art room. Each child's work of art was positioned for a photo and then the photo was printed on a poster. The students had a lot of fun looking for their work of art in the mural! This is a perfect spot for a photo op during the art show on Community Night in the spring. What a great group of artists!

Mrs. Hower's Third Grade class worked collaboratively to create igloos to shelter animals in the arctic. They used marshmallows (blocks of ice) and toothpicks (wooden beams) to protect their animals from the arctic breeze (hairdryer). βοΈπ¨οΈπ¨
