Last Thursday, many of our students had art in the local Art Show. Shout out to the students who put their art into the world for everyone to enjoy and also to art teacher, Nora Majors. Providing opportunities like these requires extra time and effort by our teachers. Thanks to Ms. Majors for her extra time and attention in getting the artwork submitted and displayed. Angola truly is a small community with big opportunities!
