Artist in Residence Program
Ms Ashley Krohmal, a graduate of Alfred U and the College of St Rose,
visited our school for 1 week in January as part of a Parsippany Education Foundation Grant.
Ms. Krohmal prepared the students for the following week "We are the World Day" by relating their art work to the history and cultures of many lands. By introducing an artistic perspective to their art pieces the students were able to get a better undertanding of the lands they will be visiting.
