Students are helping raise money to fund RSU #1's swim program. Each fall third and fourth graders are brought to the Bath YMCA to take swim lessons. This program is supported through private donations and local fundraising. Since the swim lessons are intended to teach students to swim like fish, we created 5X7 images using oil pastels and watercolors of fish. We were inspired by a Maine artist, Karla Gerard. Our goal was to create simple, colorful images. The images above were created by second graders, who will benefit from the program next year and the ones below by fifth graders. These one of a kind watercolors will be on sale at a fundraiser this summer!
