In art class, students at Washington Center have been learning how to reduce waste through upcycling- turning trash into treasure. Under the instruction of art teacher, Amanda Wakely, students have been decoupaging on plastic toy balls to hang as ornaments. Extra ornaments will be made to sell in our new online store, Seagull Sustainability Shop, to help raise funds for the school. The site was created by Environmental Science teacher, Jamie Taber, in cooperation with Related Arts teachers. It features handmade crafts and foods grown in the school’s greenhouse, and it can be found at:
