The school’s outdoor kindergarten class also had the chance to visit Vickers’ studio in Hazelton to see his most recent carving - a house pole for Rivers Inlet. “It is not easy for children in Houston to visit galleries and see a master artist’s work,” said Margerm. “Our kindergarten class was honored to not only see a master artist’s work in person, but to listen to the artist tell the story of his work.” (Submitted photos)
