Submarine Art -- Very Cool Story


March 10, 2014

In the late fall of this year, Mrs.Hudson, (Beacon Team ELA teacher) approached Mrs. Tucker (Art teacher)   regarding a unique opportunity. Admiring the work of our art students shown around NMS, Mrs. Hudson asked if we could contribute some of their beautiful works to cheer the interior of the submarine that her daughter, Beth, was to be on for an indefinite time, for a special mission for the USA. We could not be more proud of the contribution our young artists have made to uplift our service people on their long journey! Each of them will receive a copy of a wonderful letter from Beth, on behalf of her service fellows, and part of this reads:

“Thank you so much for generously donating your pictures to adorn the walls of our submarine. Your work is amazing! You have such creative minds. Each picture is unique, yet  all are bright and cheery. They will make us smile each time we look at them while serving…
When you look at the ocean, know that your picture is traveling very deep beneath the surface, helping us to maintain a positive morale”…
