  • MET Museum Trip

    Our students had an inspiring day at the @metmuseum exploring the sculpture garden, discovering how sculptures are created, and seeing how artists express emotion through their work. The experience came to life even more through a hands-on clay project, where students thoughtfully created their own artworks inspired by what they learned. We’re so grateful for this amazing opportunity that sparked curiosity, creativity, and connection!
