Happy Youth Art Month!

March is Youth Art Month!  We are happy to celebrate by showing, sharing and reflecting on our artwork.  We have student art shows in our school, our community and beyond.  The following 4^th and 5^th grade students are representing BW Elementary School with art on display at The Northside Library: Arianna, Jordan, Ben, Mason, Christina, Tillman and Woody.  This art exhibit will continue until sometime in April.
