Alton Elementary School art students had a massive display recently showcasing their talents, put together by art teacher Annie Whitten. The show has been held annually for several years, but this was the second year a theme was chosen. This year was "Under The Sea," and featured two-dimensional and three-dimensional art from preschool through fifth grade students. This large piece, made to look like a coral reef, was constructed with recycled and upcycled materials like cardboard packaging and tubes, painted dry pasta pieces and stacked paper cups, plus conventional materials like paper mache and pipe cleaners. It was the centerpiece placed near the entrance, and enhanced by special lighting to make it look as if it was underwater and glowing.

Amanda Grisham's South Fork Elementary first grade class recently did 100 acts of kindness to celebrate 100 days of school. First graders handed out Sonic drinks to teachers and staff with a kind message such as, “I appreciate you.” The children also took time to read to preschool students, made Post-it notes with kind affirmations and placed them on classroom doors, cheered for kindergarteners as they went out to recess and told them to have a great day, provided cookies to several classes, and wrote letters and drew pictures for others. “It was fun to watch the kindness spread throughout the building,” said district officials.
