The Salisbury - Elk Lick Art Club has painted a doll house as a symbol of peace for the war in Ukraine. Ms. Lisa Karacz is the art teacher at SELSD. The doll house was put together by her father, John Karacz of Wilmington, DE when she was 8 years old. Ms. Karacz’s father came to the U.S. as a refugee from Ukraine when he was a child. The doll house has seen better days, a few small pieces and some shingles have fallen off and gotten lost and it has survived moving to 5 different houses. But Ms. Karacz has held onto the doll house all these years as a treasured piece of her childhood. She decided to repaint the house in the colors of the Ukrainian flag as a symbol of her proud Ukrainian heritage. Yellow and blue also happen to be the school colors for SELSD. Art club members who helped Ms. Karacz paint the doll house were; Jackie Brant and Kammy Bittinger. A large sunflower (the national flower of Ukraine) is painted on one side of the doll house and the words “Peace for Ukraine” are painted on the other side.

This is a reminder that there will be an Elk Pride meeting at 6 PM tomorrow evening in the Elementary Health Room. That meeting will be followed by our annual Title I Parent meeting 7 PM. All elementary parents and guardians are invited to attend both meetings.
