Self portraits at library Madison-Plains High School students have established a presence in two ways at Mount Sterling Public Library this month. First, students in the Drawing II class created self-portraits in charcoal, which are on display at the library. Shown here are portraits by (from left) Christopher Stonecipher and Andy Hirth. The other artwork on display is by Brittany Stepp, Nathan Toppings, Moriah Joyce, Briana Dillon and Cheyenne Kelly. With the library’s organizational help, high school students also read their favorite stories to elementary school students during National Library Week (April 14-18). They visited Mount Sterling, Midway and Madison Rural Elementary schools. |
