"The Butterfly Effect"

During the week of May 11th, students at McMurrich will be working with an artist to produce art pieces around the theme of "The Butterfly Effect."

The butterfly effect refers to a concept that small causes can have large effects. The name is derived from a metaphorical example of the effects of a hurricane being influenced by minor tiny actions such as the flapping of the wings of a distant butterfly. We want McMurrich students to realize that small actions here can have large consequences on the other side of the world.

Professional artists from Inner City Angels will be on hand to assist and inspire students in their

creative exploration of the subject.

Then, on Friday May 13th, McMurrich will host an art show in the gym to display all the artworks, and as a fundraiser for the McMurrich/Winona Welcoming Refugees project. You can also donate to the cause online. The art show will take place in the evening from 6 to 7:30 pm, and everyone in the community is invited to attend.

Volunteers will be needed to help hang the pictures and help out during the event - please let us know if you can help!

Thanks to the McMurrich School Council Enrichment Committee for helping to organize the event.
