Elementary students get artistic
By Brianna Windham

The Neuse Charter School elementary school students, everyone in kindergarten through fifth grade, recently completed a huge art project.

They each drew a self-portrait of themselves in a different color. When all the portraits were put together, it looked like a rainbow of different colors on the hallway in the elementary building.

Sue Wilson, art teacher for the elementary school kids, said, “It was a great learning experience for the kids.”

Many teachers have said that it looks great on the wall.
