Students' Art to Travel Through China

These kids have art.

Five elementary school students from Shelby Township will have their artwork displayed in China this summer as part of a cultural exchange program.

The students are Makayla Belanger and David Dawood of and Ellie Mastrogiacomo, Sienna Schulz and Caleb Yancy of .

Their art will travel though parts of the Shandong Province in China thanks to the Michigan 4-H Children’s Art Exchange Program, which encouraged students to learn more about China through language, natural science, geography, family and the arts.
