A huge thank you to local Brigantine artist Eduardo Jimenez for sharing his incredible artwork with Mrs. Johanson’s and Mrs. Disciascio’s 2nd grade classes!

Eduardo creates amazing sculptures and artwork from discarded Mylar balloons and travels to schools teaching students about the importance of responsible celebrations and environmental stewardship.

In honor of World Ocean Month, our students learned how everyday items like balloons can be upcycled into beautiful works of art instead of becoming pollution that harms our oceans and wildlife. His inspiring presentation showed us that creativity can make a positive impact on our planet.

Thank you, Eduardo, for helping our students see the value in protecting the environment while turning waste into art! 🌎🎨🐠
