A BIG shout out and THANK YOU to the Belleville Community Pride Organization, who provided prizes to our RCHS student artists...As well as our amazing RCHS alumni judges Autumn Cardi, and Anna Pachta, for helping us put on (and pull off) a mini art exhibit in the high school ag shop these past few days. RCJHS will have a hallway exhibit and prizes coming in the next couple weeks, also sponsored by the Belleville Community Pride Organization and judged by local alumni! Mrs. Strnad would like to personally thank all of our amazing community members who have messaged her with well wishes and support this past week! She is feeling MUCH better and ready to take on prom and the next 4 weeks of art competitions with our students! One last reminder, The RC art room will NOT be show casing artwork this year during the science fair open house, as artwork and students will be leaving early the next morning to compete at the FHSU Art Competition in Hays. Thanks for your continued support of our RC Art Program! 💙❤️
RC students have spent the last two days in school learning a little about the art of glass. Some even got a chance to create their own glass pieces with glass artist, April Lemon! 🍋 Even though the RC Art Walk wasn't able to happen this year, we were still able to make plenty of lemonade with the help of April! Thanks to everyone who helped make this visiting artists happen for our students! 💙❤️
