💫✨ C.W. Shipley Elementary students embarked on an intergalactic journey of creativity and imagination with the "Out of This World" Art Show! Budding artists from Kindergarten through fifth grade created celestial works of art for a schoolwide art show to coincide with the school's annual book fair this week. Visitors to the book fair will find themselves transported to distant galaxies and lunar landscapes as they fuel their imaginations with tales of adventure, exploration, and discovery. Check out some of the creativity on display in the halls of CWS! 🎨
