East Leyden Winter Art Show

Each semester Leyden puts on an art show to feature the work of the current art students in each of the art classes.  Hester is invited to display work during this show as well for 7th and 8th grade students.  It's one of my favorite shows to attend because I get to see the work of my past students and how they have grown as artists since graduating.  I am proud to say that just over 70 Hester Alum were represented in the Winter Art Show this year!  Since there were so many photos, I put them into a video, so sit back, relax, and enjoy the show!  Congrats to all the artists for their hard work!

Then I presented a session on involving students in the assessment process.  This s...

I am lucky enough to have wonderful students at Hester who love to go above and beyond the call of duty.  I co-sponsor yearbook club with Ms. Ryan and we have a wonderful committed group this year that is working on creating a FABULOUS yearbook.  As our official yearbook photographer, Sebastian Portillo spent two games before winter break capturing these action-packed shots of the Hester Boys Basketball Team and I couldn't wait for the yearbook release to share these photos.  Check it out!  Thanks Sebastian for your awesome hard work!
