Youth Art Month is celebrated in various ways in Oregon.  Artwork by May Street Elementary students was used as one of the many images of student artwork on our PowerPoint presentation.  The program includes 245 images from all across Oregon.  It  was transferred to VHS, CD and DVD and shown on Public Cable Access Channels. Copies were also given out at the OAEA Fall conference. Thanks to Terry Proctor, Producer for Portland Public schools for tremendous help with this undertaking.  He converted the PowerPoint and put it on video for us!!
