Have you ever wondered how a yearbook cover is created? At Art City Elementary, students are invited to submit pictures of what they think the cover should look like; a jury of judges look at all of the pictures and decides what picture should be used. This year all of the pictures that were submitted were on display in the gym during the "Great Artist" gallery display. Thank you students for caring for the school and wanting to help create the year book.
Art City Elementary students have been busy all year learning about different artists and art techniques. Each student chose their favorite piece of art and it was displayed in the Gym during the family night of the Book Fair March 14-17th. Students who visited the "Art Gallery" created chalk pictures, played games, and had photo opportunity to be the Mona Lisa. Thank you parents and PTA for all of your help in putting on such a magnificent gallery.

The 6th grade had quite a surprise this week when Matt Meese of Studio C came to talk with them. He answered qestions about the show, favorite characters, how they come up with skits and other things. By the way, his favorite characters to play are "Scott Sterling" and "The Shoulder Angel". Matt does not usually talk to schools, but we were lucky enough to have his friend, Sabrina Fullmer, as a practicum student in Mrs. Makin's class. He came to us as a friendly favor for her. THANKS MISS FULLMER!!!!!
