Back to School Night

There was tons of fun and some great prizes and free stuff at this year's Back to School Fair. A lot of people got to meet our new principal Ms. Lisa Huddleston as she spent time at the high school table helping to sign kids up for door prizes and other goodies. There was a large turnout with kids of all ages there. School board members grilled hot dogs for everyone and there were chips and soft drinks to boot. It was great seeing students from past classes and also those who are signed up for 2008/2009 art classes.

Teacher work!

This summer I had the priveledge of attending the Advanced Summer Institute at LBL. We spent a week participating in a wide variety of activities that helped us to learn how to be better stewards of our environment and also how to teach our students to know and understand what is happening to our environment and what they themselves can do to keep our planet healthy. One activity that I was able to be involved in was Oil Painting. It was wonderful to work with this medium again after many years of painting with acrylic. Here is an example of my work completed.

What's HOT!!

Cardinal Art is a way of highlighting student artwork for the 2008-09 school year. Students in both Visual Art I and Advanced Classes at LCHS will be featured. It's going to be an exciting year for everyone. Not only has our school gone through some administrative changes but our schedule has changed from a four block to seven periods per day. There will be some adjusting to do but in the process we are going to get very creative and make the best of all that is ahead.
