Testimonials
This project was a huge success! All of our grade 7 and 8 students were engaged in the project. Students were excited and could not wait to work in their masks each day. Alejandra is a wonderful artist to work with, she was able to guide and assist the students into creating wonderful pieces of art. The students' masks look amazing and they are very proud of them. Our students learned valuable art skills and were able to enhance their learning in other curricular areas as well.
