Third grades' project is becoming a tradition! A priceless photo collection of memories throughout the year including the back to school bar-b-que, holiday parties, the class play, basketball for both boys and girls, the Christmas pageant, recess, and the kids hard at work in the class. In addition, a portrait of each child is featured, alongside an art project/handwriting sample with the theme of this year- "What I would do to change the world."

In honor of spring, the sixth grade class sculpted calla lilies out of polymer clay. The flowers were fired in an oven and mounted to a sheet of acrylic with a linen fabric backing. These two matching pieces are displayed in shadow boxes due to the flowers’ delicacy, but would look lovely together or apart.
