Thank you to Heather Amburg, our JCHS Liaison from LCCC, for arranging this event!
Second graders drew monsters on paper then JCHS students brought them to life.
Mrs. Kolkmeyer's Adobe students created and illustrated books and sublimation keychains that featured the hand drawn monsters. Mrs. Heitzig's Intro and Advanced Design classes created handed sewn plush toys that mimicked the drawings.
