Young artists at Laronde Elementary had the chance to exhibit their work during an art display at the school earlier this month.

The show was the result of students’ hard work over the last few months, when they were paired with a parent volunteer to create one piece of art. Each classroom then produced a canvas with the collective pieces of individual students.

The finished canvasses were shown in the 1880 Laronde Dr. school’s gym March 3, and will now be auctioned off in an upcoming fundraiser.

The April 9 event is to be held at Ocean Park Community Hall, where visitors can admire the work and bid on pieces during a live auction. Proceeds are to benefit a Grade 7 camping trip and charitable organization Free the Children.
