3rd grade had an amazing week learning about the art of songwriting with @UnitedArtsWake artist Shana Tucker! After days of composing, the kids took to the stage to share their work. “A song is a poem that is set to music” 🎶 @PowellPTA #AIS4all @wcpssmagnets @WCPSS

Beautiful art being created in 5th grade! Students are creating individual fabric batiks with visiting artist Leni Newell. They have sketched and painted with melted beeswax- today we dye our work! #AIS4all @UnitedArtsWake @PowellPTA @wcpssmagnets @WCPSS @WCPSSNortheast
