Looking good, Sully Buttes Art Club! We're rocking our new club shirts and feeling great.
We want to send a big thank you to the organizers of 'Twas the Night and to everyone who supported us during our Face Painting Activity at the event. We had so much fun!

In honor of Native American Heritage, our 7th & High School art students celebrated the life and work of South Dakota's own Oscar Howe (Yanktonai Dakota). Inspired by his designs for the Mitchell Corn Palace, students created unique mosaics using a palette of agricultural seeds—including corn, sunflower, peas, and wheat—connecting art, agriculture, and local history!
For a closer look at their pieces of art, please visit Mrs. Tassler's website:

The PVC is hosting their annual locker and door decorating contests and is in search of some used or unwanted Christmas wrapping paper and decor to assist students with their lockers! If you are looking to declutter or donate some Christmas supplies to the students for decorating, please drop supplies at the high school office. We can’t wait to see all of the decked halls!
