Art Opportunities on the Way!

Recently I agreed to become part of the Sterling North Board and took the role of a school liaison to keep information and opportunities communicated between school and the Sterling North Board.  The hope is to incorporate activities and opportunities that will remind students that Edgerton is the home of a famous and well versed author and using personal experiences to create narrative text is an effective and entertaining form of writing.  It is also a chance to show our pride in being the home of North and to appreciate his legacy.  One way we hope to incorporate talented artists in our school is to have students in grades kindergarten through eighth grade illustrate outline drawings of Sterling's life, the environment in which he lived in or historical settings that relate to Edgerton.  A selection of drawings will be collected to create a new Sterling North Coloring Book that would be available in the community to purchase.  A spin off of these illustrations will also be to create a new design for an updated Sterling North T-shirt.  Both of these opportunities will be an exciting way to display the talents of many of our local artists!
