A Healthy Lifestyle includes the Arts! 
Special project at Mayde Creek High School

What's on your Table?
Hopefully healthy food! Mayde Creek High School PTA President Liz O'Donnell and ARTreach Graffiti Artist Mark Deleon were on campus to promote Healthy Lifestyles and the Arts this month. Mark painted his rendition of a healthy life on the top of a reclaimed kitchen table. Students "fed" him some healthy ideas. DeLeon's art on the table included hiking and wind surfing for exercise and a reminder to eat fruits and vegetables and get plenty of rest. Students ate it up! This unusual work of art will be on display at the V Gallery at Villagio Town Center in May.
