Friday Focus: One Grove Gallery Exhibit
Our Day of the Dead exhibit titled "How Do You Honor the Dead?" is up and running. This show is a collaboration between the Spanish, graphic arts, and art teachers and students. Thank you to all who helped pull this together, especially the Spanish teachers and students who cut over 1,000 flowers. We will have a table up in the lunchroom this week for students and staff to add a name of a deceased loved one to a flower. You can then add it to the wall in the gallery dedicated to honoring the dead. The show will be up until Thanksgiving.
