This month in art, both 5th and 6th grade classes are working on Square One Fundraiser projects. Students are creating a mixed media self portrait. Students had fun digitally altering a picture of themselves. After it was printed, students designed the areas around their picture. Once the entire student body has completed the project, their artwork will be sent to Square One to have scanned onto stickers and order brochures. You will then be able to order gifts that will be here around Thanksgiving. students are very excited about sharing their artwork with family and friends.
