Lakewood Arts council’s November Adopt a school - volunteers of america early childhood education (headstart)
“Changing Trees” was the theme of our art project with HeadStart in November, 2024. For our second “visiting artists” teaching event there, we went to all five classrooms to show over 60 children how to make the leaves of their trees turn color (with “squished” squares of colored tissue paper). This project fit perfectly with the “Trees” unit they were finishing. Thank you to volunteer Co-op artists Emily Burr, Dorothy Lessem and Katie Trapp.
We’re still looking for a schools to “adopt” for the coming year. Please refer any school you know of that needs assistance. In addition to providing space for teachers to exhibit student artwork, we may also assist with art supplies, special events, or may be able to assist your class with a “guest artist teacher.” If you are a teacher interested in participating in our “Adopt-a-School” program, please contact us at lakewoodarts.president@gmail.com
