On Thursday, September 8, the Middle School Art Club held their first meeting of the 2011-2012 school year. The 30 students in attendance decorated pens and pencils, as is the tradition for the opening meeting.

According to Mrs. Pitts, the Middle School Art Club sponsor, the Art Club has many plans for this next school year, including working more toward community art projects. Mrs. Pitts also stated that the club is planning its first field trip, a trip to an art museum. The club has many other art activities planned for this year.

This is now the fifth year of the Art Club. Members meet every second and third Thursday of each month after school.
