Earlier this year, qathet School District (qSD) invited students from kindergarten to grade 12 to help transform its office spaces by bringing district values to life through art.
According to a web post from qSD, students answered the call, creating drawings and paintings that reflected one of six district values: integrity, respect, curiosity, inclusivity, good relations and courage.
On May 8, the district hosted a special art viewing event to celebrate the students who shared their time and talent. Students, along with their teachers and families, were invited to explore the school board office and find where their artwork is now proudly displayed, according to the web post.
The event kicked off with a table spread full of snacks shared with district staff, followed by a short ceremony, where each student received a certificate of appreciation.
The school district issued a big thanks to all the students who participated and made their mark with artwork. qSD is also grateful to the parents, guardians, new superintendent of schools Paul McKenzie, school board chairperson Jaclyn Miller, district staff and teachers for taking the time to celebrate, according to the posting.
