A Hornell company, Trikeenan Tileworks, was kind enough to donate thousands of tiles to support our 2nd and 3rd grade STARS Program. We can't thank them enough for their generosity!
As many people know, the 2nd and 3rd graders at Bryant School lost their regular school day art program due to budget cuts. Realizing how important the arts are to young students, the STARS program has taken up the task of providing art enrichment. Our certified art teacher, Rick Turner, is doing a great job of making sure the students are provided the arts classes they need, and through the support of local businesses like Trikeenan, these students are now able to explore the arts in a way they wouldn't be able to otherwise.
We have several ideas for projects the students can undertake with the tiles, from mosaics to gifts for family members. As the year continues, I'll be sure to post updates to the projects the students undertake.
