Each grade will have a different experience engaging in the arts as they grow. Here's to another year of exploring the arts!

It looks like spooky science, but it's just an opportunity for Ms. Haase's Advanced Anatomy and Physiology class to learn about wounds and burns hands-on!

(Just another reminded that none of these wounds are real!)
