Wow! Art Club is fully enrolled with only 2 scholarship positions remaining available. (Scholarships are reserved exclusively for free/reduced lunch students)
The early registration during Open House showed overwhelming interest in extended art enrichment opportunities. For anyone who was interested in Art Club but did not get in for this semester, remember that a new session will begin following the winter holidays.
It was great seeing everyone last night. It was the largest attendance for Open House I have seen at Williams in the 20 years I have been working here.
You can download and print a copy of the Art Club permission slip. It is still a great idea to be on the waiting list. For a variety of reasons positions open-up throughout the year and I will invite those on the waiting list to join if they are still interested.

About Me
- Lindquist
- I was born and raised in Dayton, Ohio. I received a Bachelors of Science in Art with teaching certification (K - 12) from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio and became a National Board Certified teacher in 2006. I have been an art teacher for 22 years and this is my 20th year at Williams Elementary School. I have had incredible experiences in my time at Williams with the best students, families, colleagues and some incredible art projects.” Outside of being a teacher I am also an artist specializing in pastels and acrylic painting. I completed 3 University of Florida’s Lastinger Inquiry Research cycles and was a Lastinger Leader & Coach. I have been awarded several grants which helped fund innovative, cutting-edge art projects and after-school club activities for students. I co-wrote a curriculum guide for the Harn Museum of Art in collaboration with the School Board of Alachua County. I believe that my extensive experience in the visual arts (as an artist and arts advocate) and in education (staying current with researched based teaching strategies/techniques as well as philosophy and policy) makes me a significant resource for the programming here at Williams Elementary School.
