Now showing....proudly announcing.....(drum roll, please)......the Every Child is an Artist collection of original art created by 3rd and 4th grade GATE students! My students have been busily creating art to donate to the Albertville City Schools Foundation. The Foundation supports teachers and students in our school system in a variety of ways: funding teacher grants, providing needed supplies or necessities for students, etc. We are so thankful for their leadership and guidance for all our schools!
As a service project, our students have shared their gifts and talents of art and creativity in 5 pieces of art that will be a part of the "Evening of Art and Appetizers" on March 6th. This morning four of our AES Ambassadors presented our art to the Foundation.
After searching for ideas online and brainstorming what type of art and supplies the students wanted to use, we proudly present the following art:

American Red Cross
Our 4th grade GATE students also created a piece of art to donate to the American Red Cross of Marshall County's "Touch of Red" event to be held on March 7, 2014. Mrs. Tara Wilson, Special Education Coordinator for Albertville City Schools, is on the board of the Red Cross and will present our art for part of their silent auction. Emma and Kayla presented this art to Mrs. Wilson earlier this week. We hope the Red Cross loves our "Little Touch of Red in our Hearts" piece of art!
I am proud to be able to support worthy causes in Albertville and share the talents of my students while at the same time providing my students with the opportunity to look for ways that they can make a difference in our community.
