For our 2nd Quarter “Art in the Classroom”, we
were lucky enough to have Merylyn Whited from Timberline Gallery volunteer to
teach our students jewelry making. She focused on creating components of
jewelry that they can replicate at home to create jewelry and other fun
items.
Our 3rd through 8th grade students worked
with creating paper beads and stringing them on copper wire. Creations
ranged from simple bracelets, to earrings and little “people”. K-2nd
grade worked with beads and noodles to make a necklace. A big thank you
to Mrs. Whited, along with Janet Morita (President of Timberline Gallery,) for
donating their time and talent to our school.

If you have a child interested in art, they can apply for
sponsorship to participate in Sierra Art Trails held October 2014. This
is a great opportunity for your budding artist to explore different mediums and
start building their portfolio. http://www.sierraarttrails.org/sponsorship/student_sponsorship.html
