Kennedy Elementary Art Show Spring 2022

Hello and welcome!

My name is Haley Ortega. As the art teacher at Kennedy Elementary School I have had the privilege of guiding our young dragons in a fun, creative environment throughout the year. They have proven to be both creative and thoughtful young artists that always strive to do their best. With limited spots available school wide, it was difficult to decide between so many fantastic artists and their work. Here you will find a sampling of every project our dragons have completed this spring across all grade levels. Please enjoy the show!
