Art Show
Washburn District Elementary School held its annual art show on May 26.
The halls of the schools were covered with the artwork of students from pre-kindergarten through grade 7. The art was widely varied with beautiful white pines, funny faces, hands and feet art, abstract line art and everything in between.
The students are very talented, thanks in part to wonderful art instructor Beth Walker, who puts on this great show every year.
