Mrs. Ducharme has been the art teacher
at St. Joe's for 24 years. Each class visits the art room once a cycle to
work on basic art skills and developing an appreciation for the artists, history
and culture, of other countries. Two pieces of each student's artwork will
be saved in their permanent portfolio each school year and given back to them at
their fifth-grade awards assembly. The aim of the portfolios is to give
each child an overview of their artistic growth through their elementary years.
