Thank You Daily Herald The Daily Herald interviewed me for an article. I had a chance to share why I think art education is important for our students and how it has given me a chance at a second childhood. View the photos and a video too. Thanks to all those that left facebook comments! I feel so honored and supported:)

The Internet was Created for Good We entered an online student video contest about the Good Side of the Internet. 15 Dryden girls helped make this adorable 2 minute video. There will be two $10,000 winners from both the Individual and School categories. So far we are only competing against two other movies in the school category. Schools have until April 16th to enter so that may change. Until voting begins, please create a login and view, rate, and comment. When voting begins, you will use your login to vote. What a nice way to help us win resources without co$t. This prize money would create a one to one iPad ratio in the art room which would benefit all students.

Donor's Choose Project: I did create a tax deductable Donor's Choose project asking for one iPad and stylus. If you can't donate, no problem. Perhaps you can help us win the Internet Contest (see #9) Clicks, comments, and votes are free!

Environmental Art Day to Break a Guinness Book of World's Records (attempt). I am going to try to submitt artwork from my Wednesday classes to this attempt to break a world's record. They did environmental art sketches while I was on a field trip. View them here. The pieces will not be returned. They were all done on 81/2 x 11 paper, added to a binder, and will be shipped to the event in Chicago.
