ART AT ABBOT - The third annual Abbot Elementary School "Artists and Accents" art fair is coming up on Saturday, and on Monday some of the 30 professional artists who will display their work at the show came to the school to show students how artists work. Watching intently as artist Penny Tashnick makes enameled earrings are Abbot students (standing, from left) Ian Youngstrom and James Gallic, and (seated, from left) Robbie Behrens, Kathy Guyer and Kim McCarter. The art fair will be held at Abbot from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday. In addition to the professional artists, junior and senior high school artists will also have an opportunity to show and sell their works. Food also will be on sale, and there will be a parents' boutique.

Twenty-two first graders at John Allen Elementary School, as part of their study of China, ate a sample Chinese meal with chopsticks this week. Their teacher, Mrs. Marion Krause, decided to give the youngsters this unusual learning experience when Mrs. James Chu (shown in the background, above), mother of one of the children in the class, volunteered to help with the project. Mike O'Boyle (at right) shows utter disbelieve that even the Chinese manage to eat with chopsticks as he valiantly tries to pick up his food with the strange instruments. Sitting next to him is John Kostishak, who seems to be doing well at mastering the art. The children added to the flavor of the occasion by fashioning hats as an art project.
