In Park Dale Art News... Local artist, Emebet Belete’s Artists in Communities and Schools project grant from the Ontario Arts Council allowed us to provide approximately 24 hours of art workshops for over 75 students in Senior Kindergarten, Grade 1, and Grade 2.  Emebet worked with 4 of our classes over a period of approximately 4 weeks.  Students learned about techniques, elements, and materials as they represented and expressed themselves in a multi-media abstract collage using objects and images that had personal meaning and significance.   This collaborative art project will now become a permanent art installation in our school library!  

We would like to invite you to attend our Celebration/Unveiling event to be held on Wednesday, March 28th at 5:30 p.m. in our school library.
