Mr. Maynard
This year has been a difficult one; first, I was gone on maternity leave during first semester, and then we moved to Remote Learning for the second semester. I love my job and my students, and having so little time to be able to teach them has been hard on me. My kids truly deserve the best and I hope they know that I am sorry that they haven't gotten a full year of art.
With that being said, my students need to be recognized for the artwork they have created. Since we can't have our Fine Arts Night, I thought I'd try to acknowledge their efforts in this format. I am still doing Outstanding Art Student awards - the winners are at the end of presentation.
Thank you!
Wendy Peters, High School Art Teacher
