Her students took on the art challenge to find creative ways to reduce, reuse, and recycle materials found in their homes. Esteban Contreras and Hannah Icban took top honors when their art work was selected for the 2013 "Dare to Reuse" Online Calendar.
Contreras' "Colorful and Powerful Peacock," made of used CDs, a sparkling squeeze ball, and a plastic container was selected for the Calendar¹s front cover. Icban¹s "Recycle that Flower," made of used plastic bottles, was chosen for the month of May.
