WORCESTER COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS -

We are so grateful for partners like the Art League of Ocean City who worked with our Stephen Decatur Middle School Exploratory World Language class to study French Impressionism. Teacher, Ms. Waterman and Artist, Ms. Guilfoil helped students learn the language, create artworks and study french food, music and culture. Here are some of the beautiful artworks they created! #ArtsAreAliveInWorcester
