Murais do Anglo de Volta Redonda

Estive no Anglo de Volta Redonda na segunda-feira, no dia 20 de setembro 2010. Fiquei encantada com os murais e todo o trabalho de artes que o Colégio está fazendo.   

Check the pictures out.



 



Os professores estão usando garrafas PETs (Politereftalato de etileno), ou seja, garrafas plásticas para fazer pétalas de flores, entre outros materiais reutilizáveis.



Parabéns pelo trabalho dos profissionais do Anglo de Volta Redonda,
e o da diretora Cláudia Valéria Schiavo.
