Thanks to the support of our school, the MAC and of the MAAE, we were able to have Gérald Laroche as Artist in Residence for two weeks, at Laidlaw School. Every student in the school from Kindergarten to Grade 8 was given an opportunity to work with Gerald to create their own art piece. The residency relates to our school priorities this year, one of which included increasing student empathy, respect and improving cultural sensitivity. This project allowed students to consolidate their understanding of the teachings and put their own thinking into action. Every student in the school had their work displayed in the hallways at the Winter Concert on December 10th. They have a painting, a reminder of an art experience that will stay with them for the rest of their lives.
A huge thanks to Gérald Laroche, for his knowledge, calming presence and expertise, the students for their focus on learning, Laidlaw School and staff for supporting our project and MAAE and MAC who helped make this all possible.
