Each family received a reusable cloth bag at the door and were invited to create a design on the bag that represented their family.
“They then visited the different creation stations, which included natural weavings, upcycled ornaments and flowers using old materials, watercolor paintings of ocean scenes, natural leaf rubbings, flower garden mural painting, and much more,” said Mrs. Hawk, who was assisted by NRE art teacher Amy Cholkas and LCE art teacher Tim Cook.
This event was sponsored by Monroe Elementary’s P.T.O.
