Our PTA and BTS art teacher (Mrs Wizner) put on an amazing art show tonight! So many fabulous art masterpieces displayed-from art created with chalk pastels, oil pastels, pottery, crayon, print making, dioramas, and so much more. The kids were excited to show off just a few of their pieces of art from our and their BTS art class. 🎨

Special thanks to all the many hands that went in to preparing for this fun evening!
