The first African American woman to have a solo art exhibition at the Whitney in New York City was artist, Alma Woodesy Thomas. She was most famous for her colorful, patterned paintings.

J.F. Burns Elementary 1st graders under the direction of Art teacher, Laura Acierno, celebrated Thomas by creating their own versions of colorful paintings.

After discussion and direction from English 11 teacher, Andrea Nichols, students wrote theme statements based on their analysis, created artifacts that best represented those themes, and designed a museum exhibit to display their work.

We greatly appreciate your willingness to give back to our community. However, if you have donations, please contact us first.

Beginning this week, the District is now reporting daily numbers of positive cases and quarantines of COVID-19. Those numbers will be reported by the end of the school day each day. You can find that information on our website. We will continue to report the weekly totals, as well.
