The 2024/25 school year at Calhoun Unit 40 saw the return of Art to the curriculum for the Elementary, Jr. High and High School. Art teacher Sarah Becker not only shared her talent but brought out the talent in the students.
On Thursday, May 1, they held an Art Exhibition of their projects at Calhoun Elementary/Jr. High. Parents, grandparents and families packed the halls to see their students work and the students did not disappoint. The artwork was amazing, the high school students showcased several projects showing different aspects of art as well.
