See photo gallery.

Chenango Valley High School art students worked hard to transform photographs of more than a dozen Elizabeth Church Manor residents into charcoal portrait drawings.
 
Students chose a photograph to work on, and created their pieces over the span of a few weeks. On March 29, students met the faces behind the photographs as they presented the Elizabeth Church Manor residents, along with a couple of ECM employees, their portraits to keep. Smiles filled the faces of both the nursing home residents and high school students during this interaction.
 
This activity, which helped to expand students' artistic skills and community connection, was arranged by Chenango Valley High School art teacher Mr. Robert Zanot. He arranged a similar activity with the facility around a decade ago. One resident named Martha was part of both events!
 
Thank you to all who made this event possible, and fantastic job to our students on their hard work!
