We were fortunate to have David, son of Rena Smith, come in to share his artistic talents with the students today.  David is a frequent visitor to the school and when he stopped in earlier in the week to share some are he had created with fall leaves, everyone was impressed.  David agreed to teach the students how to make their own and even brought in some incredibly beautiful and unique leaves to share with the class. Everyone had a great time and took home their own creations to share with their families.  Thanks, David and Rena!...
