Check out this incredible practice piece by one of our talented 8th graders, Teagan Reeder!
As part of their Scratch Art project, students made their own homemade scratch paper using a crayon base with a black oil pastel top coat, then experimented with wax and oil resist techniques.
This was designed as a warm-up to help students learn the tools and techniques before starting their final artwork—but Teagan absolutely knocked it out of the park! 🎨

Take a look at what our CHS Spanish students are doing!
Students created comics in Spanish to show their understanding of vocabulary and to practice real-life conversation skills. Afterward, classmates read each other’s comics and shared what they liked about their peers’ work.
We love seeing creativity, collaboration, and language learning in action - great job, students!
