BMS received an art grant from the Pennyhawk-Kids In Need Foundation that supplied materials for a project based on American Sign Language. Students chose a letter from the American Sign Language alphabet and created a mold of their symbol with dental alginate. Plaster was then poured directly into the molds to create the cast. Students incorporated personal symbols and colors into their sculpture. This was a collaborative project between Mrs. Valera Brooks, who wrote the grant, and Ms. Kristen Chumbler, who taught the project.
