Sunnyside Elementary School unveils student-designed art installation

By Emilie Hackett, Special to the Record – Students at Sunnyside Elementary School in Stanstead participated in a unique art project this month along with CJ Fleury, a multi media artist and cultural researcher who has 17 public artworks exposed in different cultural and educational institutions across Quebec and Ontario. The art installation was inaugurated on April 26 and parents and community members were invited to attend the event. Every student, from pre-kindergarten to Grade 6, first learned about large-scale public art, as explained by Fleury, who spent three weeks working with the students and staff at the school. Students were then tasked to design and paint 15 cedar slabs which were set up at the front of Sunnyside Elementary. See full story in the Monday, April 29 edition of The Record.
