Thank you, Art Docents & Teachers for an amazing year of art education!

6/20/2023 9:29 am

Thank you to all the amazing Teachers and Art Docents that have made this year's Explore Art Program a success!

We had a huge undertaking to bring in-person art curriculum back to Twain this year. Our docents, with teacher support, have led monthly lessons inspired by various artists and mediums, including those from the Northwest Arts Collection that visited our school in February.

We are so fortunate to have a strong team that allowed us to provide such a well-rounded art education to all of our Mark Twain students. We couldn't have done it without help from each and every one of you!
