TYL ‘21, BS in Art Education
Welcome friends to the 2021 Potter Thomas spring art show! Over the past four months I have had the pleasure to co-teach the k-8th classes alongside Mrs. Dirubbo. In our time that we’ve spent together I can honestly say each and every one of you has touched my heart and given me an experience I will never forget. Over these past months I have seen extraordinary growth in overcoming the challenges online learning has brought us. After much practice I can proudly say that all of you have persevered and become masters at the canvas app. If we have learned anything during this pandemic I think it is that we need each other and our community to come together when life gets tough. I want to take this time to thank all of you for welcoming me into your class community and creating such a supportive and thoughtful environment where our creativity could flourish.
