7th and 8th graders got to take a trip to Great Falls to tour the Paris Gibson Square Museum of Art. After the tour, they got the chance to recreate one of the artists' work, Sean Chandler, in their own way. Obviously, they got really into it, as their dirty hands can show!

The K-6 graders were in for a musical treat when the talented accordionist, Andy Mirkovich, came to visit! Some students got to try their hand at being an accordionist. Others sang along to some familiar tunes such as "It's a Small World", "You're a Grand Old Flag", and "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious"! Andy is a longtime family friend of Mrs. Sally Aschim and Miss Whitney Aschim, who fell in love with his musical talents over 20 years ago while attending accordion festivals with family. Some of his credentials include playing with or for the likes of Liberace, Burl Ives, The Vienna Boys, and the King and Queen of Norway, just to name a few. He performed as the featured performer at the Space Needle for 11 years, and he continues to perform and teach Master Classes at festivals.
