Let the new year begin!

Hello Friends and Families of Holy Family School!

I am pleased to be with you all once again for another exciting year at Holy Family School. This being my third year teaching at Holy Family, it is once again another year filled new adventures. The art program is growing steadily .... and the students are responding amazingly!

I'd like to start by sharing with you a few new additions to the Holy Family School Art Program:

1. Hyde Park Art Center
    Thanks to a gracious donor, HFS has been blessed with a teaching artist. Meaghan Burritt is the new teaching artist at HFS for the 7th grade class. She visits us once a week and brings with her years of experience! We look forward to sharing the work created together. Currently the students are creating self-portrait weavings. They will be revealed the week of October 16th!

2. The First Ever Holy Family Art Exhibition
    David Rhodes and myself have been working hard since the spring of 2012 with all the students of HFS to compile a wide variety of artwork. The ultimate goal was to feature the work at an art exhibition featuring all HFS student work. That day is quickly approaching. The students have had 5 workshops and we have had tons of artwork to sort through and select to feature. We are pleased to announce that October 20th will be the date of our exhibition. 12-3 at the Starbucks on 1245 W Fullerton will be the gracious hosts of our event. Keep posted for more details.

Well, last but not least, I'd like to share with you a few of our artists of the week!!! Please enjoy!!!
