School may be out for the summer, but we love a #ThrowbackThursday! Check out these photos from @elmcityelementary’s art show last month. Our AF families celebrated the creativity and dedication our scholars put into their artistic pieces. At AF, we believe it is essential for students to have time to develop their passions and express their imagination through the arts. Special thank you to Ms. Fung and the Elm City ES staff for making this wonderful show possible!
