Welcome

The
project, called “Picturing America,” is a joint collaboration of the NEH and
the American Library Association and is designed to place quality works of
American art in our nation’s schools in order to expose more people to our
American heritage of fine art and the historical periods these pieces
represent.
The
prints will be displayed in the trophy cases in the hall leading to the music
room throughout the month of May. Please
take the time to view and enjoy these wonderful works of art.
We
have been blessed this spring with many wonderful donations from the following
people:
Julianna and Morgan Barger
Kyle Hall
Cheryl Simpson
Kimberly Schuetze
We
are always pleased to receive donations of books, movies, and, of course,
money!

The books cost $18.95 each and include the following titles:
