CREATING ART!
In Februrary 2010, Mrs. Crider recieved the Lilly Endowment Teacher Creativity Grant. The grant allowed her to immerse herself in the imaginative world of Harry Potter and paint an original 4x8 foot mural for our school media center that reflects the creative imagery portrayed in J.K. Rowling’s novels. Inspiration for the mural was gained by traveling to England, where Rowling’s story sprang to life, as well as to the theme park, “The Wizarding World of Harry Potter” in Orlando, Florida.
