SPSD students participate in Creative Arts Festival


On May 4th, 14 talented fifth graders from Grand Avenue, Tower Rock, and Merrimac Community Schools had the opportunity to participate in the Central Wisconsin TAG Creative Arts Festival. They enjoyed taking part in activities that ranged from sculpting with wire to cake decorating, and even learning to play a tune on the ukulele. Other activities included drawing, designing t-shirts, weaving, performing an adapted version of a song from “Hamilton,” sculpting ice cream desserts, and many other creative endeavors. In addition, there was the excitement of getting to know students from the many other school districts who attended the festival, which included Wautoma, Wisconsin Dells, Baraboo, Adams-Friendship, Poynette, Portage, and Reedsburg. Amy Hiel, music teacher at Grand Avenue School and Krista Geier, art teacher at Grand Avenue facilitated workshops for the students. The day was sponsored by the Sauk Prairie Schools Gifted/Talented Department. Pictured, front: Jace Sanchez, Henry Zuelke, Rommel Hernandez, Khloe Walker, Anna Leaf, Ryette Smith, Lyra Goetz.
