Grade 7 students end the 2023–24 school year with a creative exploration of Portland

Grade 7 students recently exhibited their year-end projects about Portland, exploring a variety of topics that provided a more in-depth look at the city. Notable projects include Riti’s artistic creation—a bike constructed entirely from (sanitized) trash she collected along Portland’s bike trails; Tanner’s “Flowers of Portland” presentation, a collection of dress designs inspired by Portland’s floral landscape; and Noa’s model Liberty ship, a nod to South Portland’s involvement in WWII. The gallery also included a large map of Portland that used QR codes to direct visitors to each student’s project website where they could learn more.
