We decorated 1000 bags!

About our project: Elementary students from the Bresnahan, Kelley, Brown, Immaculate Conception, and River Valley Charter Schools decorated 1000 bags with recycling and earthday messages. The bags were delivered on a rainy Earth Day but customers at Market Basket and Shaw's Supermarkets enjoyed getting this great artwork!

Look at our pictures!

About our project: Kindergarten through grade 5 students in Station Avenue Elementary School worked in Mrs. Knowland's art classes to decorate 322 bags for the local A&P. The children used crayons and permanent markers to create colorful waterproof designs. Mrs. Siegel's second grade students worked together to research Earth Day facts and slogans for the school to use on the bags.
