An Artist’s Road at Lucy Wortham James Elementary School! 🎨🐯❤️

Third-grade artists are kicking off the school year by setting the foundation for success in Mrs. Copeland’s class! Together, they’re learning classroom norms and exploring what it means to be a good artist: respectful, creative, and ready to try new things.

By starting strong with shared expectations, our students are paving the way for a positive year! #AllRoadsLeadForward #caringrelationships #stjschools #tigerpride
