Something Fishy was a project to reinforce Dixie’s values on environmentalism and going Green. Our inspired art teacher, Claire McDowell, used wire clothes hangers as a starting point for the project. The kids then created with found and reused objects their own unique, wild, and wonderful new species of fish and aquatic life--all while learning the importance of keeping stuff out of landfills. “ Last year’s focus was on the accumulation of plastics in our ocean,”said Claire McDowell,”. . .and this year we reinvented the project with a focus on landfills to raise further awareness of the importance of reusing everyday objects and its affects on the environment.”
