CHAMISA News:

The Chamisa Recycle Art Show was held Nov. 15 in celebration of America Recycles Day. Students created artwork made from recycled materials to display around the school.

The evening began with everyone participating in make & take art projects using trash items. The event culminated with a fashion show featuring student and family created outfits.

The Los Alamos Cooperative Market and Los Alamos County Environmental Services sponsored prizes for the contestants and volunteers. Frontier Frames of Santa Fe provided mat board remnants and Plexiglas for recycled art projects.
