Shout out to Stephanie Walton at Wilchester Elementary School who created and organized this outstanding collaboration between art and literacy as we celebrated Big Art Day and Youth Art Month.

Create Fest 2023
Create Fest 2023
Thank you, TEACHERS, for all your dedication and help in making Create Fest a success. The Art Department pushed the Limitless Curiosity of our students to participate and compete in this exciting event. The art educators in SBISD truly embody the Collective Greatness of our department. We simply couldn’t do it without your support. It's great events like Create Fest that exemplify SBISD's commitment to the success and opportunity for Every Child. Shout out to Sally Doyle (Create Fest Founder) and the 2023 Create Fest Committee for dedicating their time and creativity to lead this event to success.
