  • Attention all students and staff. This is Brock Kelly. Brock's Art class just finished an abstract collage project and learned about Color Relativity. Mrs. Gravel´s student teacher, Mr. Baris, let the 7th grade class explore with shapes and color. Brock's pencil holder demonstrates the use of shapes and color. Notice how the color blast of yellow draws your attention to the words. Brock's pencil holder can be found at the Security desk located at the main entrance. If you find a pencil, pen, or eraser on the ground, drop it in here! Lost your pencil? Check the pencil Lost and Found. Need a pencil? Check the pencil Lost and Found. Thank you for keeping our halls and stairways safe and clean... and thanks for helping a friend!
