Lisbon - Over the last three months, Ms. Amy Crosby has been my art teacher at Philip W. Sugg Middle School in Lisbon Falls.    Ms. Crosby has taught me so much about art, it has been so exciting to attend her art classes.  As a student media reporter for our school, I had an opportunity to interview Ms. Crosby.   “I’ve been interested in art my whole life,” commented Ms. Crosby.  In an effort to share the work of her PWS students with the public, Ms. Crosby set up a website.  To view all the great student art projects visit  http://picasaweb.google.com/PWSuggArt.

The website was created so everyone would be able to see the work by students and “gain support” for the art curriculum in Lisbon schools.  With all the budget issues this year, Ms. Crosby wanted everyone to know why it is important for the school to keep the arts program.  “Art is so important for all aspects of life and helps students link together all subjects,” according to  Ms. Crosby.   “It helps to create well rounded students.” Ms. Crosby graduated from the University of Maine and has been teaching Art for four years. 

As the end of the year is fast approaching, don’t forget to mark your calendar for the final band/art show on Wednesday, June 2 at 6:30 p.m.  Students invite members of  the community to attend and  support all the students who worked so hard this year.
