My elementary (pre-K through 6th grade) art students live in a rural southern Indiana community that already had many families in need of financial and lunch programs. Our school was the center and heart of our community. After the tornadoes hit our school on March 2, besides the tremendous devastation to the structures and homes, many of our students were displaced to families and friends beyond our community and every child's sense of norm and support changed. Each child in our school brought a special personality and energy to school and created an exciting mix of young creative minds. They are always full of hugs for me and constantly greeting me in the halls when they saw me outside of art class. For the students that are able to return to finish our school year at our temporary school, much internal healing needs to be handled with care because they will be very fragile and traumatized. Many are very eager to return to see their friends and teachers.
