My Project

The ninth grade team has just recently created and implemented new clubs for each student to join and each teacher to advise. The Arts and Crafts Club, which I am excited to co-advise, wants to do more than just coloring or basic activities. We want to create beautiful and inspirational works of art!

We want to create exciting and engaging artwork that students will be proud of and keep for many years!

This project supports exactly that. We will be creating decoupage candle votives, wooden picture frames, painted designs and painted pictures frames, friendship bracelets, clothes pin airplanes, and more! We hope to meet more frequently because students have really been enjoying themselves. They are able to wind down, focus on something hands-on and relaxing, and make beautiful artwork while inspiring each other and their teachers!
