From vibrant visual art displays to moving theatrical performances, students demonstrated what passion, focus, and creativity can achieve in just a few short weeks! Want to see what makes acGATEWAY so special?

LBC submitted 10 outstanding pieces of Artwork done in a variety of mediums such as Watercolor, Pencil, Colored Pencils, & Markers. Each piece of Artwork was from a different project of Ms. Elmore’s where these students went above & beyond for what she asked for. All 10 of our Artists & their families came out to celebrate their hard work & amazing skills. Enjoy our photos of these wonderful students & their talent.
