Spring Break Origami fun

Enjoy!

After studying the art of design, students grades 3-5 were given the opportunity to design their own T-shirt for Aeropostale.
Student entries will be displayed over spring break in the local Aeropostale P.S. stores, Including Christiana Mall Newark De.The national contest winners and runners up will be posted here.

Images From The District Art Show

I'm so proud of our West Park Pandas! This year 35 of our students were featured in the Christina School District Art Show. The images were on display at Gauger-Cobbs Middle School for one week. In celebration of this great event, Susan McNulty put together a wonderful photo gallery from the 2010/2011 event.
