We are proud to share that we begin our Artist in Residence this week with Leni Newell. "Leni Newell conducts popular, successful and highly sought after residencies in over 150 schools since 1993. The strength of Newell’s highly successful and motivating residencies comes from her love of both teaching and children, which allows her creativity to inspire students and staff alike" (taken from Leni Newell's website at
http://www.leninewell.com/Leni_Newell_studios+gallery/Residencies.html.) Our PTA is supporting the funding for this residency.
Leni has worked with schools across the district and her silk banners hang in school foyers, media centers and down hallways in numerous schools. Our fifth grade students will be working with Leni to create banners for our front entrance foyer. These banners will dress up our entrance and compliment our school building colors.
We are extremely excited to be collaborating with Leni Newell this school year. As our students begin work with on the banners I will post pictures and give you an update. For additional information on Leni Newell and to see photos of banners in other WCPSS schools please follow this link:
