Artist in Residence
This week our first graders enjoyed a guest Artist in Residence Program! Ms. Courtney Fallon, art teacher at Pine Glen School, shared her expertise on still-life drawing. Each student brought in their favorite stuffed animal and drew it, using Ms. Fallon's techniques. We will be displaying the masterpieces during our Spring Art Show on May 1, from 6:00 - 8:00pm, and hope you will be able to join us for this special event!
