❤️ Thank you to whomever nominated me. ❤️
Congratulations to Sarah Cornell, Cameron Area School District, for being recognized as the Wisconsin Art Education Association August 2026 Art Teacher of the Month!
Sarah Cornell has a gift for helping students discover the joy of creating art. As the K–6 art teacher in the Cameron Area School District, she introduces students to a wide range of artistic techniques, mediums, and art history while encouraging them to develop confidence in their own creativity. Her classroom is a place where students feel inspired to take risks, express themselves, and take pride in their work.
Sarah's passion for art reaches far beyond the school day. She leads a popular after-school art club for middle school students, giving young artists even more opportunities to explore their talents. She also organizes local Youth Art Month activities at a local college, helping celebrate the importance of art education throughout the community.
Her commitment to the arts extends outside the classroom as well. Sarah's own artwork has been featured at a local theater, and she has helped students showcase their artwork on community banners in a neighboring town, allowing them to experience the pride of seeing their creativity displayed publicly.
Whether she's introducing a new technique, encouraging a hesitant artist, or creating opportunities for students to shine, Sarah's enthusiasm is evident in everything she does. She has built a program where students feel valued, inspired, and excited to create, making her a truly deserving choice for Art Teacher of the Month.
