Forty students in Heather Lohr’s Studio in Art classes at Calhoun High School participated in exchanging gifts and letters to students from VOX Pelt school in Belgium.
“I collaborated with art teacher, Sara Schoofs where we provided information to our students about the region, culture and what school life is like in both Belgium and New York,” she explained.
Then students painted bookmarks using the style of impressionism and wrote letters to each other about their personal experiences.
Lohr added that she is “so proud of my students for being a part of this unique experience.”
“Students were so excited to be able to interact with students their age from another country and the results came out amazing,” she said.
