Primary School Art Show In Its 43rd Year

The Walker Primary School kicked off its 43rd Annual Art Show this month. The tradition began in 1982 when then Assistant Kindergarten teacher Sherry Walker-Taylor, who had a background in art, was encouraged to “have a ‘little’ art show.” 

Walker-Taylor’s role at Walker expanded, and so did the Art Show. She oversaw the show for almost 30 years, and for the past 13 years, her daughter, Jessica Whittingham, the Primary School’s Art and Science teacher, has grown the exhibit. Read more about the history of the art show and this year’s show in THIS INTERVIEW with Ms. Whittingham.
