Our painting students are off to a fantastic start this term! Mrs. Wallner states that they are currently mastering the art of underpainting, a foundational technique used to build rich structure and depth before adding layers of color. It is wonderful to see their creativity and technical skills developing so quickly.

Thank you to Daniele Reisbig from Gift of Life Michigan, who presented to our sophomore Biology classes on organ and tissue donation today. Students learned about the process and even handled preserved organs!
