Sculpture Garden Nearing Completion!
Written by Fine & Performing Arts   
Friday, 12 June 2009

The school has been a buzz this past week as students, teachers and staff have watched a magical transformation of the ugly, empty, sandy area behind the art rooms (and adjacent to the Class II program) as it has been turned into a Japanese inspired sculpture garden.  This new outdoor area is the brainchild of art teacher Bess Robblee who in May of 2008 wrote and was awarded a $5,000 dollar Lowe’s Toolbox for Education Grant.  This grant was to develop a sculpture program at John Stark and to build a new garden area for the John Stark community to enjoy.  This outdoor garden will function as an outdoor classroom and an exhibit area for student artwork.

Please click here to read more information on this wonderful project and see a list of local businesses that generously supported this endeavor! Additional photos and information may be found on this link.

A special thank you needs to go out to Ms. Robblee, the Bulidings & Grounds Staff and our local business partners for making all of this possible!
