Norwood & Orems Receive Grants From Crayola &
NAESP
Norwood principal Pat Goldys and Orems Elementary School
principal Marcia Wolf are two of the 20 nationwide winners to receive
Crayola and the National Association of Elementary School Principals’
“Champion Creatively Alive Children” school grant. Each school
is awarded a $3,000 grant ($2,500 monetary grant and $500 worth of Crayola
products) that encourages innovative arts-education projects at their
schools and share best practices for arts education with fellow educators.
At Norwood, Goldys is using the funds to establish a program at the Dundalk
school for art teacher Alison Paul. The art teacher has Norwood students
studying the work of Baltimore American Visionary Art Museum artist Jennifer
Strunge. Her fifth-grade students are creating original “critters”
from silk, which the students called stuffed monsters.
