My AP students plus a former AP student now teaching student at WKCTC showed up after school today to walk the gallery space ahead of next weeks installation. I am BURSTING with pride. As an exciting and unexpected bonus, we were treated to free “dirty sodas” from a food truck on WKCTC’s campus for giving day.
Make a plan to attend if you haven’t already. Friday May 15th 5:30-7pm Fine Arts Center.
