Art By (and for) Our Kids!

5th Grade Autumn Leaves

As we get ready for our annual fundraiser- The Harvest Festival (be there, or live in regret), I'd like to take a minute to congratulate everyone involved with our last big fundraiser, June's open house/ Silent Auction. In particular, I want to applaud each and every Keppel student, who participated in creating the BEAUTIFUL art that was on display that night, and which was auctioned to raise money for theatre, dance, & music programs at the school! What better way to demonstrate the immense, unbridled creative potential or our Keppel students, and how better to raise awareness of the value of arts programs, than to display the beautiful work that the kids themselves created?

If you attended the silent auction that night, you'll remember the bottleneck just inside the front doors of the school, as parents and teachers alike stopped to "oooh!", and "ahhh!", and marvel at the art that was on display there. Thanks to MKS' recent leap into the blogosphere, that art can be viewed again for the first time, right here, as a reminder of the kind of marvelous creativity these kids are capable of, when given the opportunity. Take a look (and be amazed)!

All KIDS' AUCTION ART


To every kid who contributed to these outstanding pieces of artwork, I hope you feel proud of what you have accomplished. We at MKS certainly are! Everyone there was blown-away by your incredibly creative ideas, and wonderful artwork. (Didn't we tell you they would be)?
