Stained Glass Project

Mrs. Hiett's 8th grade art class recently worked on a stained glass window for two very dear school supporters, Bill and Terry Baker. Mr. and Mrs. Baker will be relocating to the East coast to be closer to their children.


The piece will be presented to the Bakers after one of the school Masses later this month.


This project was made possible by the generosity of Panther City Artists.
