Students Participate in Decal Design Project
The 6th grade art students participated in Charleston County's recycling truck decal design project. The students are Irie Brisacher, Maya O'Leary, Clementine Williard, Kate Murphy, Rosella Drayton, Maizie Jarrett, Heather Helander, Lola Marvel, Grayson Glenn, and Curtis Dayson. They worked together to create their own design and drew it on a large 3'X6' magnetic sheet. The design theme was "Recycle Right". Look for their magnet design on recycling trucks around town!
