Last, first week of high school is complete for the Class of 2027! So many memories to be made!

In honor of the life and legacy of renowned Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama, a few 1st and 4th graders along with the High School art classes explored her iconic artwork and unique artistic style. Thank you, Yayoi Kusama, for reminding us that there are no limits to imagination.
