Our talented middle school art students in Mr. Nkana class have been hard at work, bringing holiday cheer to the art room! 🎄🖌️ Using deconstruction and model planning techniques, they've crafted incredible cardboard replicas of some of their favorite holiday foods and desserts. 🍰🍭
This festive project is inspired by the incredible work of artist and sculptor Claes Oldenburg, whose unique perspective and larger-than-life creations have left a lasting impact on the art world.
The dedication and creativity these students have poured into their pieces are truly impressive! Each creation is a testament to their artistic growth and the joy of expressing themselves through their work. 🎨💖

I am thrilled to share that our Change for Change Campaign, in support of the United Way of El Dorado, is set to kick off from October 30th to November 3rd! Last year, we achieved an amazing milestone, raising $931.00 for this vital cause. This year, with your incredible support, I believe we can surpass that amount and make an even greater impact.
The United Way of El Dorado plays a crucial role in our local community, supporting initiatives in education, health, and community services. By participating in the Change for Change Campaign, we can contribute to these essential causes and showcase our unwavering commitment to creating positive change.
📽️ To inspire you, I've attached a video providing a comprehensive look at the United Way of El Dorado's impactful work: Watch Video
📣 Attached is a flyer outlining the campaign for the week. Each day, we encourage you to collect and count the change brought in by our students. Prizes await the Seminar class that collects the greatest amount of change each day during the campaign.
Let's unite as a school community, embrace the spirit of giving, and show our support for the Change for Change Campaign! Together, we can make a real difference.
