End of the Year

Dear ELP Families,

We've had a great year in ELP filled with lots of hands on learning and great successes! I appreciate all of your support and your students' enthusiasm.

ELP will be wrapping up slightly early this year, due to my upcoming maternity leave. The last day of ELP classes is officially June 10^th, with some classes finishing earlier in that week.

My maternity leave will extend through the Fall, and I will return after Thanksgiving. While I am gone, there will be a substitute who will be starting the year off, so that it begins smoothly.

It has been a fun year with all of the students. We still have some great work ahead before June 10^th, but if I do not see you to tell you in person, have a great summer. I will look forward to seeing all of you in the Fall!

Sincerely,

Maryanne Cullinan

GBS Recycled Fashion Show a Hit!

Here are pictures from our 1st ever Recycled, Repurposed and Reused Fashion Show! It featured designs from our Costume Design Class. It was FABULOUS!

 A red dress of recycled paws, a green dress of repurposed grain bags and a shirt of reused ribbons, buttons and fabric.

 Reused carpet foam, duct tape and grain bags.

Various reused lace curtains and netting make this ensemble.

 A feed bag makes this dress.

 Recycled paper from the trash makes a splash!

 This ensemble is all recycled clothing.

This was put together from many water bottles and duct tape.
