8th Grade Art Club
Calling all 8th graders who took art during the first quarter! Due to COVID related date and schedule changes and everyone getting acclimated to the new school year, all first quarter art classes were not able to design and complete their 8th grade ceiling tile. If you would like to still paint your very own ceiling tile to proudly display in the halls of RMS- THIS IS YOUR CHANCE! Please email jtaylor@dps170.org to secure your spot in the afterschool art club.
