JH Art Community Service Project
Ms. Frazier's 8th graders had fun with a community service project for our youngest students. At Western, our elementary students don't like to color with broken crayons. Instead of throwing the broken ones away and opening new packs, the 8th graders began melting them down to create new crayons and giving them to the Preschool and Kindergarten students at LCDC, Western and Central. Attached are just Mrs. Betcher's (Western) Kindergarten class pics. Ms. Frazier loves creating lessons that involve our community! This semester her 7th graders will be creating bookmarks for the 1st graders at Western and Central. Exciting stuff!
