WE HAVE A NEW MURAL IN THE ENTRYWAY AT FOSTER!

THIS SUMMER LAINEE SPECTER, ART TEACHER, AND JENNY MARTIN, LOCAL ARTIST AND FORMER PARENT, PAINTED A MURAL IN THE FOYER. THE MURAL WAS COMMISSIONED BY THE STAFF AT FOSTER IN HONOR OF FORMER PRINCIPAL, KAREN KANELL'S RETIREMENT. THE MURAL WAS DESIGNED TO SHOW THAT EVERYONE IS WELCOME AT FOSTER ELEMENTARY. THE STUDENTS IN GRADES 1-5 DID THEIR OWN FIGURES AS THEIR FIRST PROJECT THIS YEAR TO ADD THEIR SENTIMENT TO OURS. CHECK OUT THEIR EFFORTS IN THE CURRENT ARTWORK SECTION.

THE MOSAIC TILES LAST YEAR'S FOURTH AND FIFTH GRADE STUDENTS MADE WERE FINALLY COMPLETED AND HUNG UP! AND AS YOU CAN SEE, THEY'RE FABULOUS! THE MURAL WAS DESIGNED TO REMIND STUDENTS TO TAKE CARE OF OUR EARTH. IRONICALLY IT WAS COMPLETED THE FRIDAY BEFORE EARTH DAY. IF YOU'RE OVER AT SCHOOL, BE SURE TO CHECK IT OUT. IT'S IN THE HALL ACROSS FROM THE LUNCHROOM. A HUGE THANK YOU TO ROB PAPKE AND HEIDI PANDOLPHI WHO WORKED TIRELESSLY ON THIS DIFFICULT PROJECT.
