Our Beautiful New Tree in the Secondary Library!

A beautiful new tree graces the reading loft of the secondary library. This was a gift to the library from four of our Grade 11 Visual Arts students: Natasha, Victor, Jerry, and Christopher. These four students spent countless hours after school and during unstructured time working on the design, creation, and installation of this piece. All of the art work in the secondary library was made by our visual arts students- from the ceiling tiles created by this year's Grade 9 Visual Arts students to the Girl With the Hoop Earring painting, a Zambian take on Vermeer's classic Girl With the Pearl Earring piece. Our space has been literally co-created by our students. We look forward to when we can have parents passing through once again to enjoy our beautiful space, but for now, we are sharing some pictures of the new tree along with the story of how it was made here. Please congratulate Victor, Natasha, Jerry, and Christopher on this wonderful accomplishment that is such a gift to our school.
