Basket Weaving and Willow Stories Art Exhibit
Rees Elementary is a great place to see the arts in action. The “Willow Stories” basket weaving exhibit was brought to us by the Utah Arts Council. To go along with this exhibit, a basket weaver, Corinne Bitsinnie came to Rees Elementary to show the students how to weave a basket. She starts out by pulling out a stick of sumac out of a bundle of sticks. Then they cut and split the sumac into three. Some of the first grade teachers got to help. Mrs. Jacquelyn Searle was the first one to try it.
