LIFETIME LEARNERS – East Arlington Recreation Center Senior Adult Group

Each year, Get Creative With What’s Native encourages students to use art as a tool to learn about their native environment through observation. This year, some members of the East Arlington Rec. Center’s Senior Adult group chose to embody the spirit of lifelong learning by participating in our contest. We hope their participation serves as an example to younger generations that the journey of learning is one that endures throughout every stage of life!
