BES Art Corner
This week in art was full of creativity and excitement!
Kindergarten through six grades finished their second to last projects and moved onto design mode! PTO asked the students to come up with a design for a new Berryton shirt for next year! The kids were all so excited! They have been working hard so their shirt design will be the chosen one! Grades 3-6 are using their ipads to design while K-2 are designing theirs on paper! The top designs from each class will be shared with PTO on Tuesday during their meeting!
6th graders have also been working hard finishing their last art piece for their music program/art show next Thursday!
