Art Show/ Makerfest 2018


SMS held its annual Art Show and Makerfest on Thursday! Every student had a piece of artwork on display, and many students and staff also put their creations out on display in the cafeteria!


Each of the giraffes had a Picasso Portrait, a Name Monster, an Abstract Piece, or a Dragonfly on display. It was great to see all the different projects completed by each grade level throughout this past year at SMS!




















During the evening, many students (including some giraffes!) played piano for visitors to enjoy!




It was also wonderful to see the many creative ways the SMS wolves like to "make"--from amazing cakes to mini sculptures, and from circuit boards to homemade slime, there was something there for everyone to enjoy! 



The giraffes had their Book Commercials on display for everyone to check out! Ms. Riley also created her own video of some photographs she's taken in the last year:











On Friday, all the giraffes got to visit the Makerfest and Art Show during the school day so we could all see everyone's creations!
















It was wonderful to see the amazing things our staff and students created. Thank you to Mrs. Dow ad Mr. G for helping us put celebrate our creativity and putting it on display, we can't wait to get "making" for next year!
