Art for the Sky
Tomorrow begins our journey with an amazing artist in residence. Daniel Dancer will be working with Walker Elementary for the next 3 days creating artwork with all students and staff. This special kind of art can be appreciated in all its grandeur from the sky, but the real work is happening on the ground. All students and staff working together to create something bigger than ourselves. That is what we strive to do every day!
The big creation event should begin around 12:30 on Thursday if any parents, family, or community would like to come and watch it unfold.
