Our 5th-grade students had an amazing hands-on learning experience with Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts at The Rose Center in Morristown!

Students rotated through five exciting art and craft experiences:
Woodworking – Created their own spatulas using rasps, sandpaper, and drills
Ironwork – Used a forge to create keychains
Needle Felting – Crafted adorable felt birds
Clay – Designed and created animal pots
Jewelry Making – Made rings and bracelets while learning a variety of techniques

What a wonderful opportunity for our students to explore their creativity, learn new skills, and experience the arts in a hands-on way! A special thank-you to Arrowmont and The Rose Center for providing such a memorable experience for our 5th graders!
