Greetings, SCMS Families,
Our middle schoolers will explore "ALEBRIJES: Creatures of a Dreamworld," an outdoor art exhibition making its debut at Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden. Students will discover large-scale, brightly colored Mexican folk art sculptures that combine features of real and mythical animals. Guided tours will teach them about Mexican culture, storytelling, and the art of paper-mâché (cartonería). Additionally, students will connect art to science by observing how nature inspires these figures while exploring the garden's plant ecosystems.
If your child received a permission slip, please return it by this Friday, September 11, 2026.
Should you have any further questions, please call the school directly at (434) 246-2251.
