Willow River Elementary School
Hudson, Wisconsin
Thank you to all Willow River Elementary families, friends, and students for supporting the arts! The ability for parents and families to view and discuss their child's artwork has been a wonderful reward for our students. Continue to check back often as artwork is continually added to each portfolio-or better yet, join your favorite artist's fan club to get emails when a new masterpiece is added! If you are not a registered parent and would like a security key, please contact me and I will send an activity report home with your child(ren). If you would like more information about our art program, please visit the art class pages on the Willow River web site.
Thanks again for all your support!
~Mrs. Youngman
