Four Clarksville Academy Juniors, Damian Hardison, Emma Hessock, Parker Rice and Sydney Watts, were invited to attend a Chemistry Workshop at Belmont University on January 29th. They spent the day extracting dye from brown M & M’s. They then used chromatography, a separation technique, to determine what pigments were used to create that brown dye. Once they had an idea of five different chromatography solvents, they were encouraged to create a mixture using any of those solvent to maximize their results. The students were able to experience a College level chemistry lab, tour the newly built science building and eat lunch in the campus cafeteria.

Art News

We are pleased to announce that during the month of March we will be running the Original Works Program at Clarksville Academy.

In business since 1989, Original Works is the #1 art based fundraising company in the country, and currently works with thousands of schools and hundreds of thousands of students each year.
Through the Original Works program, each child will have the opportunity to have their very own artwork reproduced onto a variety of high quality products. The products range from magnets, mugs and mouse pads, to ceramic tiles, t-shirts, note cards and nearly two dozen other products.

Each child is eligible to participate in this wonderful program. Once the artwork is created, parents and children will have the opportunity to select which product or products they would like to feature their artwork. The program is designed to encourage creativity and student self-esteem. The resulting products make unique gifts that are practical for any season or occasion.

Complete details on the program will be sent home shortly. Proceeds from the program will be used for purchasing many new and exciting materials in the lower school art room. For more information on Original Works please visit their website at www.originalworks.com.
