| Toy Soldiers, Jack-in-the-Box Wreaths and a Toyland Train |
The Prescott Art Club finished a community service project this morning. They are making some decorations for Alliant Credit Union to use as they decorate for an event at O'Hare Airport. Each year, they help host a holiday event for underprivileged children called the
United Airlines Fantasy Flight. Participants take a ride around the runways on a plane, and when they arrive at a terminal, it is decorated like the North Pole. Santa brings gifts, and they have a holiday party. Our students love making these decorations for the terminal. They hope to brighten the holidays for other children. It's fun to see them so excited to help. This year, we tried to make things with a "Toyland" theme. Here are a few photos of our work.

Daniel was really pleased to tell us about this project, and he enjoyed making the decorations. Thanks for the extra effort to host this club, Ms. Ammons!!
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful. It's been really nice to have Ruby a part of the art club, but I was especially pleased when she came home telling us about this special holiday project. Very cool.
ReplyDeleteThis project succeeds in so many ways - it will bring pleasure to many people, the children work together, while art is usually a lone affair and they seem to be really having fun!
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the comments! I am really proud of our club. It has been so fun so far this year!
