Sauk Prairie 5th graders participate in Creative Arts Festival in Wautoma

On May 2nd, 14 talented fifth graders from Grand Avenue, Tower Rock, and Merrimac Community Schools had the opportunity to travel to Wautoma 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 building a cardboard city. Other activities included drawing, upcycling t-shirts, weaving, performing a play, creating surrealist collages, 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. Erin Fischer, art teacher at Merrimac and Tower Rock Schools, and Krista Geier, art teacher at Grand Avenue School, facilitated workshops for the students. The day was sponsored by the Sauk Prairie Schools Gifted/Talented Department.
