Art Club
The Art Club meets on Monday after school in room #25. Great talent is not required to belong to the art club just a desire to work as a sponsor of the arts. We work to improve awareness of the arts by assisting in community projects that envolve the arts. The club visits art galleries and sponsors visits from a variety of art academies and schools. We design our annual spirit shirt, which is always a popular shirt.
