Art As Therapy
The first grade students in visual
arts class had the opportunity to learn about jewelry making. Cody Mitchey
volunteered his mom, Regina Mitchey for Show-N-Tell Art. Regina designs
jewelry for therapeutic and fun reasons. She shared numerous art and
design concepts, techniques and equipment with the children. The students
created a bracelet with materials donated by the Mitchey family and other
community members. Regina volunteers her time with many classes at our new
Evergreen Elementary School. Her extra efforts, time and donations have
benefitted the children here. Thank you Cody and Regina Mitchey. Your
involvement and support makes a world of difference to the educational
process at Evergreen Elementary School.
