In honor of Teacher Appreciation Week, we are sharing stories to celebrate the ways teachers have gone above and beyond to help students feel connected during the school closure. The Student Art Exhibition has been an annual Deephaven Elementary spring tradition, and so when it couldn't happen in person this year, art teacher Reid Anderson and parent volunteer Marta Chou decided to bring it online. With the help of student volunteer Vivi Chou, a fifth grader at Deephaven, the team has been sending out weekly grade-level slideshows featuring student art.
"One of the best parts about walking through an elementary school is being able to see all of the kid art that lines the hallways, and this slideshow is our digital version of that," shared Mr. Anderson. "Nothing can ever replace getting together in person to celebrate the artistic achievements of our kids, but I am proud of our small team for honoring our artists in this unique way."
So far, the Kindergarten and First Grade Art Exhibitions have been released. Today and every day, we are grateful for the excellence our teachers show both in their instruction and in their care for our students.
