Today was a special day at Riverbend Middle School as our Studio Art students proudly presented their incredible ceiling tile artwork to staff!
Each tile reflects creativity, dedication, and hours of thoughtful work. From bold designs to meaningful messages, our students transformed simple ceiling tiles into lasting works of art that will brighten our building for years to come. Presenting their work to staff was a wonderful opportunity to celebrate not only their talent, but also their growth as artists.
Riverbend is a more colorful and inspiring place because of these students!
