How awesome are these bean bag boards?! Students in our Woods classes built them, the Painting classes designed and painted them, and the Family and Consumer Science classes made the bean bags. It’s been so great to see everyone working together.

In our latest fashion class, creativity rolled to new heights—literally! Students took on a design challenge to craft wedding dresses entirely out of toilet paper. With no fabric, thread, or traditional tools, they had only their imagination, innovation, and a whole lot of TP. This fun, fast-paced project tested more than just design skills. It pushed students to think outside the box, work collaboratively, and make unconventional materials feel runway-ready.

Our 8th graders in Art Exploration have been busy working on lots of projects this semester. Here are a few they'd like to share with you!

Painting students are excited to share some of the watercolor paintings they have created this semester!
