Local artist, Sally Quast, was a guest speaker for all of Mr. Well's art classes on May 13-14, 2009. She demonstrated how to make jewelry out of glass. Each student created a pendant of their own in class, Sally then fired them in the kiln at EHS, and the students finished making them into a necklace the next day in class. This experience was made possible by a grant written by Mr. Wells to the Sun Foundation.
