🎨 Students at Harlan Middle School had an awesome week! Grades 6 - 8 participated in the ArtReach program. ArtReach is a local community outreach program which provides a full day of arts and crafts instruction to students in surrounding schools. The program offers workshops in a range of media such as wood, clay, sculpture, needlecraft, basketry, weaving, leather, and many others that have a significant history in Appalachia. Even the teachers had a blast on this field trip!! Huge thanks to ArtReach for traveling to Harlan and for all the people in our district who made this possible for our students!! 🐉
