McMichael Gallery field trip is coming soon! This field trip will wrap up much of our learning in visual arts and will set us up for our reproduction painting session in-class on Tuesday of next week.
A special thanks to the wonderful negotiating from teachers as we have a free school bus ride for the day, our School Council enrichment committee for covering the cost of one of the studio sessions and an extended thank you to Ms Anthony, one of our parents for donating and covering the cost of the second studio session.  The day will be awesome but all of this support will make it even more special.
