Mrs. Gallagher's Art Connection

Thanks to all who attended

Dear Parents,

During the month of January, over 100 St. Linus Students will have artwork on exhibit in the children’s section of the Oak Lawn Library. Please understand that with over 360 students in St. Linus School not everyone could be included. Students whose work will be displayed went home yesterday or today with a notice to you telling you they had been selected.

Even if your child was not selected, hopefully you will have an opportunity to view the artwork which is on display. If the library does this again next year I will try to include students who did not display this year.

May God bless you and your family in this new year.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Ginny Gallagher
Art Teacher
St. Linus School

I like to post pictures of student work but I unfortunately got my purse stolen with my camera in it and had not loaded all of my pictures into my computer. Luckily, I have a few pictures I took on my phone. I hope you enjoy these student works. Since I asked Santa for a new camera-I hope to be back in action soon!
