A work of art

First-grader Virginia taps into her creative cowgirl side last week at Longview Elementary, where students and teachers spent the day focused on art projects, while also adorning themselves in interesting headwear for Crazy Hat Day. Right, teacher Melody Evenson traces the outline of a Longview Elementary student in chalk. Students also displayed their works in a school art gallery.
