🖼 If you have summer plans to visit the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art, you'll spot work from two LSR7 students! 🖼 Lee's Summit West students in Rachel Hubbard Kline's Visual Arts class recently participated in a client-connected project during a visit the museum. All were tasked with developing artwork on what home means to them, pulling inspiration from the collage-style art in the current exhibition "Hangama Amiri: A Homage to Home". The museum decided they wanted to put some on display and after a lot of deliberation, selected pieces made by Frankie Hill and Keeley Goodwin. You can see Frankie and Keeley's work on display in the Engagement Space at the Kemper through April 2025! #R7Proud

⚾ We're so grateful to Team USA's Monica Abbott OLY for visiting Pleasant Lea Elementary to talk about her experience playing softball in the Olympics. 🥈 Not only do third graders learn about the Olympic games in their curriculum, they learned about perseverance, hard work and bravery. #R7Proud https://lnkd.in/dPWAsAbu

When opportunity presented itself, our National Art Honors students stepped up. 🐯 The iconic tiger head that used to be mounted on the South side of Lee's Summit High School was taken down during the building's remodel. 🐯 🎨 This year, those art students spent time restoring the statue so it can be reinstalled. The real world learning opportunity was a major undertaking but the students did an INCREDIBLE job. #R7Proud
