✨ This is our 10th year of collaborating with @creativeartsacademyqc for our advent calendar windows and project with the 7th grade students. The students work on artwork, digital designs, dance, and theater productions to perform and show at the showcase for their families. 

Our advent calendar designs are unveiled, one-by-one, each day in December. This year, our theme was German immigrant contributions to the Quad Cities. Students visited the museum, researched, and designed their pieces to reflect the many businesses, resources, and professions held by immigrants in our community. This was a wonderful way for students to spend time learning about local history which is mostly overlooked in typical school curriculum. 

The students used their creativity to develop designs, paintings, and performances depending on which arts program they are enrolled in. Thank you to @germanyinmidwest and @edscreative for their support of this project. 

Danke Schön!
