Friday Focus: New One Grove Gallery Exhibition
In the new One Grove Gallery exhibition, The Story of Us, multilingual students explore the origins of their names by layering their stories over images of themselves in an attempt to reclaim this integral piece of their identity. Thank you to Ms. Makovec’s class for developing this amazing project and sharing it with us. As you walk through the exhibit, reading these works, notice the variety of meaning and history in each one. This exhibit will be up for about a month. If you attend the Pops Concert, Choral Extravaganza, Winter Play or other events, make sure to stop by One Grove Gallery and check it out. The next show will showcase Art 1 and Photo 1 students' works.
