ART GALLERY
Stop by and visit our art gallery located outside of the library. Our goal is to
display work from every South student sometime throughout the school year.
Inspiration for this art gallery originated in honor of Alexa Kersting,
daughter of Loren and Monica Kersting, who passed away in July of 2004
while waiting for a lung transplant.
During Alexa’s six years as a student here, she created many works of art
and poetry, as all our students have done. The frames for the gallery were
purchased by the Kerstings to commemorate Alexa’s love of the arts.
The following will have their art on display the weeks of January 19-30,
2015. Haakon Seymour, McGill Dugbeh, Osman Mahad, Ally Howard,
Ian Skari, Spencer Patton, Noah Paintner, Dylan Vezner, Kendra
Nickerson, Hannah Moseng, Carter Mastrud, Mya Lund, Anthony Leal,
Brynlee Christianson, Abby McKibbin, Rachel Knudson, Owen GranrudClemens, Hallie Thoreson, Cory Becherl, Joseph Zerr, Kaely Moran.
