    WOW….This is an Awesome presentation of the artistic talents and abilities of our local students. It is great that the entire grade level range of students is included.
    Many thanks to the students for allowing us to view your gifts, to the teachers for their instruction, providing support and guidance, to the parents for their encouragement and to Dr. Sandra Durr for facilitating the exhibit.
    This is worth your time – even if you are not a parent.
    Congratulations to ALL who have the desire to create.
