Art Mob- Color is our thing, bullying is NOT our thing- WEAR BLUE ON MONDAY!!!

Next week is National Yearbook Week; To kick it off, please wear a BLUE shirt on Monday. The First Monday in October is "Blue Shirt Day," which is the start of National Bullying PRevention Month, The Yearbook Staff would like to see how many Rams are willing to wear blue on Monday as a way to stand in opposition to all forms of bullying, hazing, cruelty, cyberbullying, exclusion and prejudice of any kind. We will take pictures of everyone participating on Monday by wearing a blue shirt. Thank you.

Clay and wheel, they teach us."
-Shōji Hamada

Please enjoy these images of pots thrown by Senior Luke Dimig. Luke began Ceramics I in the Fall of his Junior year. In Ceramics II he really dived into throwing pots on the wheel. This year he's perfecting his skills and experimenting with different shapes, sizes and glazes.

Luke's pottery is on display in our glass case across from the HS office just to the right of the main (South East) entrance to the high school. Make sure to let him know what you think of his work, or maybe even make him an offer on one. They'd make uniqued holiday gifts.
