Opening Reception

We had such an exceptional evening during the opening reception at Sylvan Rodriguez. The turn-out from Briargrove was great! We had a lot of students, parents, siblings and teachers come out to see the incredible art and share their enthusiasm!

Mrs. Klusener and Ms. Ellsworth came to show their support to Scott and the other 5th graders!

Aadil and his family had so much fun at the show!

Aadil's younger brother Omar put his artistic talent to use as the official Briargrove photographer! What a great help!

Sarah Grace showed her sister the beautiful portrait she created in her honor.

Madeline invited her whole family to see the portrait she made of her grandfather.

Omar had fun seeing his work on display!

Davide felt honored and proud to win the Best in Show Award for Briargrove!

Bryn and her mother enjoyed looking at the sculptures!

Ms. Thorn and Ms. Ladd had a great time looking at the beautiful work! The third graders were glad to see them there! Mrs. Melville also came by to show her support!

Doesn't Jessica look JUST like her self-portrait?
Fatemah and her family came out to celebrate her intricate, colorful self-portrait.
Grant and his mother had a great time looking at art, sampling the culinary delights and taking photos!
Alexis and her mother really enjoyed the show, too!

Grant Taylor


I am like a bass because I like to swim.
I am like a whitetail deer because I’m quick and sneaky.

I am like an eagle because I’m strong and I love to fly on airplanes.
