Painting the town in Spruce Grove
St. Joseph Catholic School in Spruce Grove hosted their first annual kidZart art fair during the evenings of student-led conferences. Students from Kindergarten to Grade 4 submitted paintings, drawings and sculptures, all created at home, and classroom teachers displayed class sets of art on the surrounding walls. Students toured through during the day, and parents enjoyed the exhibit in the evenings. Organizing teachers Jill Fullam, Lauren Gannon, and Anna MacGillivray were thrilled with the enthusiastic response and plan to make it an annual exhibit!
