Art in the classroom

Art by Joanne Portner’s fifth-grade classes at Lounsberry Hollow Middle School have been featured at the Vernon Township Board of Education Office.

The young artists are: Nick DeMattheis, John Frey, Julia Giarratano, Bethany Goodrich, Lilianna Gorman, Lauren Incarnato, Ryan McNeil, Emily Monschauer, Troy Perry, Cassie Roeloffs, Ben Schmick, Shannon Scully, Brendan Shine, Sydney Thomas and Danielle Ward.
