wo second-graders and their families from Kennedy Elementary School in Roxbury Township are inspiring their community to stick together through art. Cassidy Zeis from Erin Allen’s second-grade class and her friend Olivia Van Handle from Kathy Byrne’s class partnered up to show how a community can come together through art while still being apart during social distancing. Alli Zeis, Cassidy’s mom shared, “They created a video to get a few friends to do art and created a project which is now hanging on the fence at their school. We created a second video so we can get the rest of our community to participate and other communities to come together through art as well.” Cassidy and Olivia explained, “We wanted to prove that our community can still stick together while being apart through social distancing, so we created a virtual art project.

Keep it simple and use art items that are convenient and environmentally friendly. Be sure to follow social distancing rules. Make sure you wash your hands and cover
