It wasn’t all hangable work, either:

And if you missed tonight’s Art Walk – some of the work is on display in neighboring businesses, too!

Performing arts were showcased at Lafayette tonight too, with performances by the choir and the Popcorns jump-rope team. And tomorrow, they’ll focus on writing, with Young Author’s Conference sessions.

What a fabulous time. I was so impressed with the kid’s artwork. I could tell the kids put a lot of effort into their projects, and the teachers did a great job instructing them. Performances too. Hat’s off!

Loved seeing the photo of my friend, Quin Hopkins!
Also enjoyed all the artwork, music and jump-roping. This illustrates the importance of keeping such programs available to children even when school budgets are being cut.

Sorry, comment time is over.
