The Art class was excited to see the boxes of markers and scissors as it moved projects along more quickly as the students don't have to wait to share those basic art supplies.\r\n Students are taking full advantage of the laminating supplies as they preserve special art projects, the awards they've earned and other personal mementos they deem important to themselves.
