Eagle Signs

2008 National Education Week

Students in grades 2-6 recently completed their graphic design unit in Art.  Their assignment was to design an Elgin Eagle flag for National Education Week. The students discussed what needed to be included in their design such as school colors and mascot. 

They spent a day learning to use the Printshop software to create their projects on a computer.  After a little practice they began their design.  They used the graphic and text features in Printshop. One design was chosen from each class.  Click on the slideshow to view the winning designs.  Go to the front page poll to vote for your favorite.

 

THE VOTES ARE IN!  #5 WAS THE WINNER! 

CONGRATULATIONS TO TAYLOR IN 4TH GRADE!

Awesome job students and Mrs. Heithoff! Sign me up. It will be hard to pick but I definitely have to have one of those flags.

Looking at these, I thought they were done by high schoolers! I had to go back and reread the article to make sure they really had been created by some very talented elementary students. Way to go!

Awesome job, elementary! I printed the entries off on the color printer in the office. ALL the entries were excellent! It was difficult to narrow it down to just these 5 and now it is hard to vote on just 1. We hope to see more of the Elementary on our website!
