The Chamisa Elementary Recycle Art Fair was a hit! Students and families enjoyed and participated in “make & take” art activities using recycled materials.
Renee Mitsunaga, Chamisa’s art teacher, focused on art projects using newspaper, jigsaw puzzles, old t-shirts, CDs, and more.
These projects are still on display in the hallways of Chamisa, if you would like to see them. The fashion show was organized by Andrea Lynch.
She designed a few outfits and the runway by reusing props from the YMCA Homecoming float.
Chamisa Elementary would like to thank their community partners in education, they are:
- Donations from Jemez House-White Rock, Village Arts-Los Alamos, Dana Kline, YMCA, and Joanne Kozuchowski
- Frontier Frames-Santa Fe donating Plexiglas and matboard remnants
- White Rock-Metzger’s Staff for laboriously cutting the Plexiglas into useable pieces for student artwork.
