Junk Art Challenge Wow, what an incredible showing!
All artwork will be on display for all to see at Yard Day tomorrow, and students can pick up their pieces on Monday.
With close to 100 entries, the creativity on display is truly something special. The students’ work is inventive, thoughtful, collaborative, and genuinely inspiring. Please pass along our heartfelt thanks to every single student who participated. The excitement in the hall as students explored the display, proudly shared their work and celebrated others, was such a joy to see.
It quickly became clear that choosing just one winner would be impossible. Instead, 19 entries were recognized, representing individual artists from Kindergarten through Grade 6, as well as group and class creations.
A special thank you to Mme Johnna for her help organizing the event, and to all of our volunteer judges for their time and care.
Thanks again for helping make this annual Earth Day tradition such a success!
