During the first few days of school, Mrs. Raduenz's art classes took on a unique team-building challenge: creating large-scale origami paper cranes. Working together in small groups, students practiced collaboration, problem-solving, and creativity as they brought these oversized cranes to life.

The final works will be displayed hanging from the ceilings in both the art room and the library, creating a colorful installation for all to enjoy. A great way to start the year with creativity and connection!
