Make a Splash Artwork
Posted June 18th, 2010 by Julie Pickett
Students at the Stowe Elementary School loaned their fabulous ocean-themed artwork to the library as part of the Make-a-Splash Summer Reading Program theme. Upon entering the Children's Room, you will see beautiful painted fish hanging from the ceiling, ocean collage paintings on the wall, and a colorful mural wrapping around the Picture Book wall. Thank you to Jennifer Volansky, the Stowe Elementary School art teacher for her hard work and dedication to this project.
