Long Beach High School’s National Art Honor Society coordinated an art project with two classes from Lindell School. The art scholars worked with the elementary students during two separate visits, during which they created ceramic heart crafts.

The NAHS students first helped the third- and fourth-graders construct and decorate their hearts. They then went back to Lindell after the ceramics were fired and assisted the younger students in painting their art pieces.

After the projects were completed, the Lindell students were able to take them home just in time for Valentine’s Day. “The students all worked so well together,” said NAHS Advisor and art teacher Suzanne Presberg. “It was great seeing the elementary kids looking up to their older helpers! Everyone had a great time.”
