We
are delighted to invite you to our new exhibition 'Preserving Our Coral
Reefs', featuring artwork made by the students of Uriah McPhee. In
response to a school-wide project exploring ocean conservation, imagined by
science-coordinator, Mrs. Shaphell Knowles, students from kindergarten
to sixth grade made beautiful sculptures depicting underwater
landscapes.
The students were encouraged to use recycled material and the results are so creative and resourceful; you can see recycled-cardboard sharks, treasure made from beer-bottle tops, coral fashioned out of pasta, octopuses cut out of plastic cups, and of course students used a lot of glitter, Styrofoam and pizzazz, drawing from our roots in junkanoo.
