Eighth-grade art students went to the Wustum Art Museum for a Zero Waste activity, where they used their imagination to create art pieces from recyclable materials.
Tat the Teacher Fundraiser at Schulte School.
The students purchased and assigned tattoos to the staff member of their choice from a list of volunteer staff. Some teachers were brave enough to put them on their neck and face while others had no choice because they were out of other body space. The students enjoyed seeing their teachers tatted up and even looked for the one that they bought.
