Students from Kings High School have been selected to paint a rain barrel as part of the seventh annual Rain Barrel Art Project at the Cincinnati Zoo.
Kaleigh Cooke, Tiffany Alcorn, Michelle Jiang, and Ainslee Anderson-Clark
created their barrel entitled,
Written in the Stars
. The idea of the design came from Kaleigh Cooke, daughter of KHS Art Teacher, Carrie Cooke. Kaleigh said, "Ever since I was little, I have been fascinated with the stars and how light has the power to portray colors, shapes, and travel millions of miles. When it came time for the barrel design we wanted to stay true to the natural beauty of the sky but celebrate the amazing variety of animals here on Earth."
The team created the glow-in-the-dark barrel designed by Kaleigh, illustrated by Michelle, drawn by Tiffany and Michelle, and the whole team painted the barrel.
The Rain Barrel Art Project is a joint effort of
SaveLocalWaters.org
and the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden with a desire to educate people on environmental issues like storm water runoff, watersheds, and water conservation.
As part of this initiative, students and other community members throughout the Ohio River Valley submitted artistic designs to beautify otherwise dull rain barrels. About 40 of those designs were selected, and the submitting artists’ barrels will be displayed at the Cincinnati Zoo’s Party for the Planet between April 15-25, 2019, and will be auctioned during a reception on April 25. Digital bids will be accepted using a mobile phone app or by using computer stations that will be set up at the event.
If you visit the zoo during the viewing period, make sure you look for our KHS Students' barrel!

The Addams Family, A New Musical Comedy will be performed by KHS Theatre April 11-13.
The story is about Wednesday Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness, who has grown up and fallen in love with a sweet, smart young man from a respectable family – a man her parents have never met. And if that weren’t upsetting enough, Wednesday confides in her father and begs him not to tell her mother. Now, Gomez Addams must do something he’s never done before – keep a secret from his beloved wife, Morticia. Everything will change for the whole family on the fateful night they host a dinner for Wednesday’s ‘normal’ boyfriend and his parents.

KHS Junior Collects for Shelter
|
|
Kings High School Junior,
Ruthie Galberg
is raising money and collecting supplies for ARCS (Abuse & Rape Crisis Shelter) in Lebanon. ARCS offers a comprehensive set of programs and services to residents of Warren County such as shelter, legal advocacy and sexual assault response. They also offer programming geared toward school aged youth to increase awareness of dating safety, healthy relationships, empathy, diversity and tolerance.
Ruthie chose to raise money for ARCS because she said, “Female empowerment, health and safety are very important to me. I felt inspired to support a group dedicated to helping women and families in our area. I especially like the fact that they work with local students to help them learn the signs of dating violence and to make good choices in their relationships.”
Ruthie is well on her way to reaching her $250 fundraising goal. All money raised will go to buy needed supplies. Ruthie made her first supply delivery this week. If you would like to donate to Ruthie’s fundraising campaign please

If you would like to donate supplies please contact Ruthie at
