π¨ Art Celebration 2026 RE-CAP!!
What. A. Day. π€ͺ
The mission: To showcase the hard work our students do throughout the year in art class. To give exposure to an entity of learning that is untapped but a necessity β€οΈ
The event: A celebration and display of the creative workings of Mrs. Hoffmans Art Classes. Each student, K-5, had a piece of art highlighted for viewing.
The THANKS YOUS: I simply can not express a simple Thank You enough π. To my fellow PTO members, the parent volunteers, the Trenton High School NHS students, friends, little hands, and my co-workers. Every single minute you lent to this event will be forever appreciated π Everytime we, as PTO, host something, we learn a little bit more about "It takes a village"
Extra SPECIAL THANK YOUS: To Trenton Parks and Recreation for allowing us use of our beautiful and historical grounds at Trenton Cultural Center & for working with us to bring this together π. Doughmads Detroit for bringing a childhood staple back to life in the most decadent way and for sharing your craft with us π. Celly's Food Truck for continuing to be a consistent staple in our community, and of course, the yummy food π. You can find them both at our Trenton Farmers Market if you missed them yesterday. Follow ALL of them on FB to see what they are up to!!
Although we had some challenges and had to PIVOT several times, iykyk π Mrs. Hoffman and I are especially proud that we were able to bring this event together. It was a lot of work, and seeing it come to fruition in real time is something incredible π€©
HOPES for the future: Better weather ππ. A collaboration with our other schools & Parks & Rec to make this an annual event. Local, live artists to share their talents and interact with the kids. Live music πΆ Got a garage band? Teens that live and breathe music... let us know!!
To say that I am personally grateful for everyone who took time out of their busy day to come visit is an understatement βΊοΈ. A part of what we did yesterday was Adapt & Overcome. But also utilized a lesson ART teaches us... A mistake or mess is an opportunity to make something different, something new, and something more special that it started out to be.
Drop your photos below and NEVER STOP CREATING π¨. There are never mistakes in art, my little artists π¨βπ¨ππ©βπ¨ only new opportunities!!
With love and gratitude,
