Celebration Of The Arts 2022 - Wellness Walk

A piece of our #COTA2022 was a Wellness Walk. Thanks, Kaitlyn Dressel for developing this idea into a cool added feature for our partnership with Guidance Department. Kaitlyn had her students create pieces of art to leave along this walk. We had a Wellness Library where you could take something or leave something for someone else. You can learn more about this at this link: Wellness Library "Grab N Go" Art Kits

 

This was added for us to make sure we take a mental break from any stressors of the day. You could take a short walk or a long hike depending on how much time you had. This trail links up to Maclay Gardens and oozes possibilities for all involved depending on your athletic level.
 

Each door in middle school had one of these hearts. Middle School students helped me paint them with left over paint and some free time at the end of a few classes. I was on campus last week and several were still hung up! They were placed on offices around campus too!

This is a great way to involve many departments on your campus. Appreciate Upper School Art with Kaitlyn for taking the lead on this one and making it so successful that we will keep it for next year!

A huge reminder to  stop and smell the roses so to speak, right?!? Ya feel me? You only get one life, slow down and enjoy it.

COTA 2022 Photography Opportunity Created By Sarah Painter

Every year we have a spot / booth for folks to take a picture during the Celebration of the Arts to document the event. Plus it always adds a little something extra for everyone to enjoy. This year, Sarah Painter, created this marvelous butterfly for the event and it was a success for all involved! You can see from the sampling of photos here this was quite the attraction. Thanks, Sarah! We all enjoyed this piece to our #COTA2022.

We will be posting the rest of the events soon. Once they are all blogged, I will link them to one post in case you want to share at your school. Appreciate all the emails and comments to our blog. It is just nice being able to share with everone so you don't have to reinvent the wheel.

Thanks for stopping by! 1969
