Art Show Pics
Christy is preparing students for their art show. Students learned how to interact with visitors as well as the mood and behavior in an art show. It was truly amazing watching the excellent behavior of elementary students as they shared their art work and walked throughout the gym admiring other students' art work.

Pictured are some high school students congratulating PAWS drawing winners as they arrive in the office to receive their prize.
