CARNIVAL
Art Club Grant
Recently, Mrs. Carter received a grant called "Art from Farm to Table." A local artist named Roger DeWitt passed away about a year and a half ago and his wife, Vicki DeWitt started a grant for art teachers in central/southern Illinois. Smithton was awarded the first grant in honor of Mr. Dewitt! Mrs. Carter received $500 to do paintings/drawings depicting landscapes/agriculture themes. Check out some of the paintings that our art club students' created. They did such a great job! Thank you, Mrs. Dewitt, for your support of our Smithton artists!
