The school’s art gallery on the Artsonia website recently reached the 100,000 contributions mark. TES is one of just 24 schools to reach the milestone with the online art gallery.

“I am pleased to extend sincere congratulations to your school’s art teacher(s) and your students, who have collectively contributed to an online gallery surpassing 100,000 works of art,” Artsonia CEO Jim Meyers said in a letter to the TES art department. “Your school’s digital gallery on Artsonia is a testament to your dedication to your students and the school art program. The art teacher’s efforts have created a more arts-centric community, as student artworks are visible all around the world.”

TES art teachers are Amy Lawson and Felicia Dombeck. Lawson said that in addition to being one of only 24 schools to hit 100,000, TES, which has students in grades kindergarten through fifth grade, is the first in Kansas to reach 100,000 pieces.

Anyone who wants to see students’ artwork in person can visit Grounded Coffeehouse, 304 E. Fourth ST. TES students’ latest works, which are self-portraits, are on display through the end of the month at the coffee shop.
