🎨✨ Celebrating America’s 250th Birthday Through Student Art! ✨🎨
This Summer, Franklin Elementary is showcasing the creativity and talent of local students as part of America’s 250th birthday celebration!
🖌️ Student artwork has been selected by downtown Liberty businesses and is now on display in shop windows and lobbies throughout the community.
🎨 Local business owners personally browsed the collection and chose pieces to feature in their businesses, and many young artists from Franklin Elementary will see their work proudly displayed downtown this summer.
A huge thank you to Franklin Elementary art teacher Melissa Allshouse for organizing this wonderful project and creating an opportunity for students to share their talents with the entire community. đź‘Źđź‘Źđź‘Ź
