Janet Neuman, Certified Elementary Education Teacher: BS, Millersville University. Janet has been creating art for as long as she can remember.

Part of her excitement is guiding children through the process of creating art, having fun, and not always thinking of the final product. That is where the learning occurs and the confidence grows which spills into other parts of our students’ lives. It is exciting to see them grow and change through this action.
