ALTOONA, BLAIR COUNTY -- Sixth graders here at Ebner Elementary School in Altoona are busy creating a wall mural to complement their current fish tank in their lobby.
Through a grant with the Southern Alleghenies Museum of Art, every student is a part of the creation working with artist-in-residence Lynne McGee in the design, drawing, and painting of their coral reef.
As Julia Danbeck, a 6th grader at Ebner explains, "It's an honor, it truly is because this will be here forever.
I think it teaches you that you can be creative and unique about painting and it is an actual subject that you can study."
Art may not seem like a sport per say but this activity can go a long way in promoting a healthy well-rounded fit kid!
