Mountain Home Public Schools

Pinkston Middle School students put their creativity to work during Art Camp this summer, exploring printmaking techniques and other hands-on artistic experiences. 🎨🖌️

These opportunities were made possible through the generosity of the Loyd Foundation, through Mountain Home Education Foundation grants. The Pinkston Middle School Art Department was able to purchase printmaking supplies that helped bring these lessons to life for our young artists.

Thank you to the Loyd Foundation and the Mountain Home Education Foundation for investing in experiences that inspire creativity, curiosity, and a love of learning in our students. 💙💛
