SJA Social Media Mash-Up
The National SkillsUSA Conference is happening this week in Atlanta, and the SJA team is ready to go. Posing for a photo in Olympic Park are Mr. Guckin, Mr. Stark, Mrs. Bystrzycki, Eliana Murdoch `26 (competing in Baking and Pastry Arts), Deedra Roy `28 (competing in Welding Sculpture), and Mr. Mitchell. Good Luck!
Photo II and Photo III students enjoyed a day exploring coastal Maine while studying composition, texture, movement, and (for the first time) color! After 2-3 semesters of producing black and white photographs, advanced photo students navigated the challenges of using color film with the freedom to explore the unique and beautiful coastline along Ogunquit’s Marginal Way. Sharing lunch with the seagulls in Perkins Cove was the perfect ending to a fun day of photography! Film forever!
We may have had a few sprinkles during last night`s prom, but it made for this beautiful rainbow over Brantview, caught by Mrs. Higgs.
