In painting class, we have begun a plein air project. Plein air is a French term that means painting outside in the open air. Our class will spend the next several days working outside, enjoying the gorgeous landscape that surrounds our school. We're hoping the great warm spring weather will continue!

My awesome students and I will be available after school to sign autographs... ;)
Ms. Howard's 7th grade English classes spent some time outside, enjoying the spring weather and writing haikus. Each Painting student created a watercolor painting inspired by one of the haikus written by their peers. Our school's vision statement says: Salem Junior High Spartans are strong in Body, Heart, and Mind. Our Bodies are actively engaged in school sports, extracurricular activities, and keeping ourselves physically healthy. Our Hearts advocate for respect and loyalty among our peers, teachers, staff, and administrators. Our Minds are innovative, open, and driven to strive for academic excellence and critical thinking. Painting students illustrated what it means to be Spartan Strong in body, heart and mind. Jumpst(ART) Ceramic Intensive for Secondary Students
