Emily Brittain students inspired by assembly, create art for Sunnyview residents
BUTLER CITY — Students at Emily Brittain Elementary School learned the power of using their gifts and talents for the community at an assembly on Tuesday afternoon.
Local musician and artist Tom Panei shared his artistic journey and gave the students a project that will be displayed in a nursing home.
Principal Cassandra Pencek said the presentation is part of their Community Love Day. Once a month, the school holds an assembly and does an activity that contributes to Butler.
“I asked the teachers who they thought would benefit from getting something from the kids,” she said. “They voted for Sunnyview.”
Students in kindergarten through fourth grade sat in rapt attention as Panei discussed his passions in performance and art, and how no matter how experienced, everyone needs to practice every day to improve.
