Thank you for your patience and assistance in helping us get the school year off to a great start!

Students in Mrs. Annie Hoskins K-5 art classes recently collaborated on a canvas-collage wall mural featuring a handprint from every in-person student. The canvases were donated to the school by DecoArt (local business). Mrs. Hoskins had been working on school-wide art projects with students and noticed the need to showcase student artwork, as well as promote positive messages, all while beautifying the building.  "The students enjoyed getting a little messy, seeing what was added to the project over time, and it just sends a positive message," said Mrs. Hoskins.  "They all worked so hard.  I think their favorite part was using a water gun to squirt blue paint for the background, and of course, dipping their hands in paint; who doesn't love that?"  The mural is on display as you enter the intermediate wing, across from the library, at Crab Orchard Elementary. #TEAMLincoln #WeAreCubs
