Monroe shows it colors for Art Month

March is Youth Art Month — a celebration of the importance of Art Education in every child’s educational experience — and no school celebrates it quite like New Richmond's Monroe Elementary.

Monroe students and staff celebrated by dressing in daily art themes during ART SPIRIT WEEK organized by Monroe's Visual Arts Specialist Adrian Hawk.

Monday was PRIMARY COLORS Day when the theme was wearing BLUE, RED & YELLOW, the colors that make all other colors possible.
