	5001	PreK3 Watercolor Tray Children from the PreK3 classroom poured their creative energy out onto watercolor paper. Once dried, the paper was lovingly turned into individual watercolor flower petals. With a sturdy metal tray as the base, the individual petals came together and formed a beautiful flower - showing us that while beautiful alone, together we can truly make great things!
	5002	PreK4 Butterfly Shadow Box "If you smile when you see a butterfly, you have happiness in your soul" - Diana Cooper. Our PreK4 children expressed themselves in various patterns and paint on watercolor paper. Once dried, the papers were turned into individual butterflies with many layers (much like our children). These individual butterflies, while beautiful, were then assembled in a shadow box frame to create a gorgeous piece of artwork worthy to hang in any home or art gallery.
	5003	Kindergarten Butterfly Tree "Until you spread your wings, you'll have no idea how far you can fly." Our kindergarten children worked hard to create beautiful artwork that was a reflection of their personality and style. These amazing pieces of art were used to create the butterflies that come together to form the foliage of the tree. It provides a wonderful visual representation of how magnificent we can be when we come together with our individual pieces.
	5004	1st Grade Owl Artwork Owls are considered to be intelligent, curious & determined - a perfect animal to represent our delightful first grade children. Each child used paper and various mediums (crayons, colored pencil, etc.) to create an owl they were proud to call their own. The owls were assembled in a tree on a sturdy piece of wood. A truly beautiful piece of art that is as unique as the children who created it!
	5005	2nd Grade Chair of Love A black wooden child-sized chair is the base for this second grade work of art. Each child created artwork for the individual letters of love in a four square design that visually combines the strong lines and letters with the artistic design of each child's choosing. The artwork was then decoupaged to the chair - creating a wonderful chair that is functional and decorative. A perfect addition to any home!
	5006	3rd Grade Polish Art Planter What better way to plant your flowers this spring than to plant them in this delightful terra cotta planter! Our third grade children cut bits and pieces of paper to create vibrant flowers similar to the Polish Folk Art flowers. Each student's individual collage was then decoupaged onto the terra cotta planter to create the work of art any gardening or art enthusiast would be proud to display in their home.
	5007	4th Grade Growth Ruler This beautiful piece of wood has been transformed into a ruler to record your family's growth over the years. Adorned with a hand painted tree, this piece of art includes a plethora of artwork samples cut into circles. The student's artwork has been added to the tree structure to provide the colorful foliage of the tree - surrounding the tree in the same color our children bring to our world. A must have for any family!
	5008	5th Grade Tree Pallet Sign "Be like a tree firmly planted by the streams of living water." Psalms 1:3. Our fifth grade children poured their hearts into creating amazing individual pieces of artwork of various shapes and sizes using various methods of coloring. Once completed, the students selected the best samples of their artwork to turn into leaves and flowers. With a deep blue background to anchor the colorful artwork to the stark white curly tree, this gorgeous piece of art would compliment any space.
	5009	6th Grade Breakfast Tray Hawaiian Paper Quilt designs are inspired by nature's leaves and flowers. Our sixth grade children used various methods to create a paper quilt square that uses complimentary colors and patterns across the design. These beautiful designs were used to "tile" an ordinary breakfast tray - turning it into a one-of-a-kind piece of art that not only provides the surface for breakfast in bed, but a visually appealing background to the food. No home is complete without a breakfast in bed tray, and no other tray is as unique and charming as this one.
	5010	7th Grade Cardinal Canvas Cardinals signify devotion, loving relationships and confidence. Our seventh grade class used their artistic skills to create versions of cardinals that reflect those qualities. Each cardinal is hand drawn and colored by our children before adding it to the barren tree often seen before the spring comes. Once the seasons change, our seventh graders will become the school's new leaders as they prepare to fly off into the world. This beautiful piece of art represents a wonderful moment in time before our children move on to become the school's leaders next year.
