I’m happy to announce that the “Art Star” award for April goes to Samantha C. (Rm. 310). Please assist me in congratulating Samantha for all the hard work, creativity, and independence that she has shown Great Job!! Samantha’s “Lotus” can be seen to the right. Additional examples can be seen on Page 3 of this issue of The Andersonian.
“Light It Up Blue” To mark the “Autism Speaks: Light It Up Blue” campaign and “World Autism Awareness Day” (April 2) this newsletter has gone “Blue”. “Light It Up Blue” is a yearly event designed to shed light on autism and bring attention to the need for it’s further study. For more information on this event please see these links: http://www.lightitupblue.org or http://www.autismspeaks.org I wanted to send a “Thank You” to all of those who helped out the Art Program over the past month with art supplies and materials, including Kathleen M. (Dir. Of Program Services) and Chris C. (Rm 310). I also wanted to thank the staff of Ulster Savings Bank for allowing Anderson students to display their artwork at the Red Hook branch. Thanks!!
