This is the first time ever that any CSISD ensemble has competed at this prestigious PASIC contest… and they walked away with 4th place among elite groups from around the world! 🌍🔥 2️⃣ Unstoppable Dedication!

🎨✨ What an unforgettable day for our Greens Prairie 2nd graders! ✨🎨 Students got to step into the world of the famous French artist Pierre-Auguste Renoir. The Renoir archivist shared stories about Renoir’s life, his art, and his unique approach to painting and printmaking. Inspired, our students painted their own beautiful vases of flowers—just like Renoir! 🌸🖌️ And then… a once-in-a-lifetime surprise! Madam Renoir, widow of Pierre-Auguste Renoir’s youngest grandson, Paul Renoir, visited the students, greeted them personally, and placed the official Renoir seal on each child’s painting. 🕊️ There is only one Renoir stamp in the world, and it belongs to her estate. Now, each of our students has a truly special connection to the Renoir legacy. 💫

Join us for this!

Proud of our students!
