The tradition continues!
Our intro to art (high school) and kindergarten students have been busy collaborating over the last month for our annual stuffed monster art project. After reading The Color Monster by Anna Llenas, kindergarten students drew their own creative creatures and shared them with a high school student ready to stitch their design. The high school and kindergarten students worked together to finalize designs, pick fabric, and write a brief narrative about each monster. It is one of the very best days in the art room when the kindergarteners receive their finished monsters!

If you know Payton, you know he bleeds purple & we couldn't be more proud of him and his accomplishments! In a star studded class of Seniors, Payton is one of the most selfless individuals of the group. He's not afraid to lend a hand and help in any way he can. We have no doubt he'll continue that as he continues to impact our community for the better.
Way to represent Minutemen Nation and Lexington so well, Payton!
