Sixty-five - yes, 65!😃 - MWHS students gathered for the Art Guild's first meeting of the school year. The purpose of the club is to allow creative students to make art around other like-minded students and to have fun!🎉 The club brings together creative people and shares students' talents with the school and community through art projects and events.
For their first project of the year, students are creating decorative ornaments that will be available to our community beginning next month. The ornaments will be offered throughout the school year.
National Art Honor Society members serve as leaders of the Art Guild. They plan projects, get materials ready and help and instruct on the meeting days. It’s just one big, creative family! 🌟🎨💜
