Students Have A Gift For Pentucket-Area Residents

WEST NEWBURY — It's the season of giving and Pentucket Regional High School Visual Arts Teacher Marcia Nadeau-Tanner and her Senior Studio and AP Studio art students are offering a unique gift to residents in the Pentucket communities.

As part of a new graphic design unit developed by Tanner this year, the students are seeking to create visual designs for residents' marketing or advertising needs. There is no charge for the service.

Under the supervision of Tanner, students will work with clients to design a marketing piece. Clients will receive both a hard copy of the final design and a "print-ready" electronic file.

Requests for the design services have already been submitted by the Pentucket Music Department, Boys Soccer Team, the Pentucket Fine and Performing Arts Foundation, Pentucket Education Foundation and High School Community Service coordinator.

Tanner explained that creating authentic learning experiences for students is in keeping with teaching children 21st Century Skills, a focus for the Pentucket Regional School District.

"Authentic leaning experiences require collaboration between school and community. The benefit of having students work and learn in real-life situations creates a powerful connection for engaged student learning," Tanner said.
