A MESSAGE FROM MRS. CAUDILL
When our bottle cap mural was installed last year around this time, I did not think Mrs. Rohrhoff could imagine and have her students create anything to top it. I think I was wrong... This week our 5th Grade Legacy Art Project was installed. Every 5th grade student made their own glass piece and they were hung together to create one large piece of artwork. This would not have been possible without the financial support of our PTA, the experience of Fired & Fused Glass studio, and the imagination and heart of Mrs. Rohrhoff.
Next time you are at Amerman take a look outside the from office and be prepared to be amazed!
Stay well,
Devon Caudill
