project at Donegal Intermediate. “I had a personal interest in architecture and the history of our small towns,” she noted, adding that the project also aligned with an academic learning standard in the arts. “This was a way to get kids involved to take a more interested look in their community. A lot of the students live in buildings like the ones we featured.” Using a grant provided by the Donegal Foundation, McCart brought in experts from the three organizations, and the students got to work completing large paintings and stained-glass windows. “They really enjoyed the chance to do something big and a chance to work with material they don’t normally use in art class,” McCart stated. “They also got a chance to make something permanent.”
