Mrs. Dieter-Robinson
For the past five years, I’ve had the joy of teaching art at our school and watching students discover the magic of creativity. One of my favorite parts of this work is seeing imagination come to life - whether it’s through bold color choices, inventive designs, or those wonderful “aha!” moments that happen when students experiment with new materials.

I love exploring the elements of art and the principles of design with my students and helping them grow as confident, expressive young artists. Teaching art is truly my passion, and I feel grateful every day to guide students as they learn, create, and shine.
