Do you remember going on field trips when you were in school? Most kids have fond memories of going to either the 🐍 Dickerson Park Zoo or the 🚜 Campbell Maze Daze pumpkin patch. Teachers knew they wouldn't be able to take their students anywhere this year because of COVID-19 so they decided to do the next best thing...bring the field trips to 🏫 school!

β€œWhether it was starting HS in Art Foundations, taking Art classes in Summer School or filling his schedule with Art classes during the regular school year, Zander has racked up a lot of hours in the Art Studio. He has his own style, yet has worked on improving his art by working on his skills and pushing different media.” - Ryan Widel, Art Teacher.
