Thea Paves the Way!

On September 17, JES Students (pictured here with Parkview High School mimes) participated in the Thea Foundation's annual sidewalk chalk event, "Thea Paves the Way." Held on the lawn of the Clinton Presidential Center, the Jefferson artists created a design inspired by the work of artist Keith Haring, with art teacher Mrs. Morris!
