Dot Day is coming to Fayston School!


International Dot Day is a day to celebrate CREATIVITY, COURAGE and COLLABORATION.  During the week of September 15th, all students will create artwork inspired by the message in Peter Reynolds' book The Dot:

"Make your mark and see where it takes you!"

Greek Vases

Kudos to Alex M. for initiating this amazing integrated art project with the fifth and sixth grades as they studied the ancient Greeks.  Great results! They used balloons, cardboard and paper mache to create these original Greek Vases.
