This program provided a creative element to the education of fifth grade students in the Stillwater Public Schools after budget cuts eliminated all art education classes. I restructured the curriculum and worked with Professor Suzanne Bilbeisi to receive a large grant for funding the program. To this day the program continues to be a successful part of the Stillwater Public Schools’ curriculum.
