In Mr. Strauss’s art class, senior Ashleigh Starkey brought color and craftsmanship together with her latest stained glass project. Through a process that required careful planning, cutting, and soldering, Ashleigh turned her vision into a vibrant glass mosaic that captures both light and imagination.

This project highlights the dedication and artistry students at Chippewa bring to their work—especially when tackling mediums that demand precision and patience. Ashleigh’s success is a reminder of the creative opportunities available to our students and the supportive environment that helps them thrive.

The finished piece not only demonstrates strong artistic skill but also reflects the kind of discipline and focus that carries into all areas of learning. Projects like this remind us that learning can be hands-on, expressive, and deeply rewarding.

Ashleigh’s work is now displayed proudly in the art room, where it inspires younger students and brightens the space with every beam of light that passes through.
