GCHS students create installation art around high school

GRUNDY CENTER – Any artist can tell you that you don’t need much to create a masterpiece. Sometimes all you need is paper, scissors, a little bit of string and a lot of imagination. At least that’s the case for the students in Ronda Sternhagen’s Fundamentals of Art class, who ditched the sketchbooks and pencils, and took their art to a grander scale by creating 3-D art installations throughout the high school for every student and teacher to enjoy.

The Teal Pumpkin Project

GRUNDY CENTER –  Many children look forward to Halloween and Trick or Treating all year long; but those with food allergies are often left out of the fun, as most candy is off limits.
One initiative, The Teal Pumpkin Project, is aiming to change this by encouraging people to offer trick-or-treaters an alternative to candy.
Local mom Katie Schmitz has become an advocate for the project here in Grundy Center.
