🌟 Creativity in Action! 🌟 After Mrs. Nelson shared the inspiring story The Dot, our elementary students had the chance to put their own mark on the world through a special art project with Ms. Stumpf! 🎨✨ With guidance from Mrs. Stumpf (Art) and Mrs. Nelson (Media Specialist), students explored the power of imagination, creativity, and self-expression. Just like in the book, they were reminded that even the smallest dot can spark big ideas! We’re so proud of their beautiful work and the way our staff brings literature and art together to inspire confidence and joy in learning. 💡❤️ #TheDot #ElementaryArt #CreativityCounts #MelroseDutchmen
