We are hanging our art show now. When I say “we”, I truly mean it. Our school is blessed with many fabulous parent volunteers who are willing to mount art or cut oceans of bulletin board paper. ‘We’ also means eager and trustworthy student helpers, who are pushing cartloads of finished ceramic projects and sport trophy sculptures from the art room to our auditorium. ‘We’ means our PTO president dragging the display tables into position. ‘We’ means two 4th grade tech whizzes, who will be generating special signage for the show. “We” means our unbelievably clever and creative Art Show Chairwoman, who will arrange and decorate the space until it resembles a children’s museum.

I am going to bed tonight exhausted but grateful. Thank you to all who make our art program not only possible, but special.
