Wrapping up a fine term in Art

As we approach the end of a successful term of Art classes, I felt the students all needed to be acknowledged for their fabulous creativity, efforts and enthusiasm. Here are just a few samples of some of the great work that has been completed from Grade Prep to Grade Six.

Congratulations to all students…it has been an absolute pleasure and I cannot wait until we do it all again in Term 2!
