March: Celebrate Youth Art Month
I love art, I especially love kids art. That’s why March is one of my favorite months. Youth Art Month celebrates art education in the United States.

Terra is the head of the Menomonee Falls High School art department and I want to be a student in her classes. Recently I had a tour of the art classrooms, saw student work and enjoyed Terra’s classroom stories and favorite assignments.
