On December 3rd, Cottonwood Elementary hosted an Art Show in their new Auditorium. The Art Show was a display of creativity, showing the incredible talent of young students. The various forms of art included paintings, drawings, sculptures, and mixed-media projects. Each piece of art demonstrated the unique perspective and imagination of each student, from colorful designs down to detailed scenes from nature.

In the school’s new library, each class performed their own poetry. These performances were the centerpiece of the event. Each student worked really hard for several weeks studying and creating poetry and memorizing their parts. Students brought their vision of whimsical landscape to reality, demonstrating creativity and teamwork. It brought parents and community members together for a joyous celebration of students' hard work and artistic growth.

This was a show that honored not only the achievements of these young artists but also how fostering creativity within education is important. The Elementary Art Show served as a nice reminder that art has the power to inspire and unite people of all ages.
