This fall the clothing company, p.s. from Aeropostal held their 2nd annual T-shirt contest for students in 3rd, 4th and 5th grade. They asked, "What makes You SMILE?" ~ as usual Mount Prospect had lots of amazing entries from students in all three grades. It has been a L O N G wait for the results, but last week we found out that 5th grade student Kavya was a finalist - CONGRATULATIONS KAVYA!!!

19 students (K - 5th grade) from Mount Prospect School had their artwork selected to be included in THE BIG SCREEN PROJECT. The Big Screen Project is an innovative venue for video, film, live and interactive content in New York City. It consists of a large 30 x 16.5 ft. HD Format LED screen located at the 10,000 sq. ft. public plaza behind a new 54-story multi-use building on Sixth Avenue between 29th and 30th Street in New York City. Yesterday, I went in to NYC to see the display - it was amazing. Student artwork from all over the country was included in this display that ran for 30 minutes total. The slideshow will run again on Wednesday - May 25th & Saturday - May 28th, 2011.
I am the full-time Art Teacher at Mount Prospect School and I have been at the school for 11 years. Before that, I taught in Flemington, Quakertown and Stockton, NJ. I received both my BS and my MEd. from Kutztown University in Kutztown, PA.
When I am finished teaching for the day I head home to my husband and Guinness, our Standard Poodle.
