Sunol Glen School assistant art teacher, Darlene Wexner is excited to be announcing "Miss Darlene's Art School for Summer. Darlene is offering special courses from her home for children and their mothers. Her daughter Annelise, a Pine Valley School Middle School student is prepared to help out with babysitting the young ones while the Mom's are getting art instruction or they can do a little arts and crafts of their own.

Darlene, who has a B.S. in marketing and a minor degree in art says, "This is what I've always dreamed of doing. She has worked part-time at the school for a number of years and has the experience of teaching 140 children during the school year as well as volunteering to take on such projects as painting the holiday school play's back drop and props.

Her home in the country provides a relaxing, natural atmosphere for creating artistic ability. She has a menagerie of animals such as peacocks, horses, cows, llamas, sheep and chickens on her hilltop home which offers sweeping views of the Pleasanton, Livermore and San Ramon Valley's.

A May 19 "Spring Bash" hosted by Sunol Glen School art teacher Darlene Wexner and her daughter, Annie was a attended by well over 30 students from Sunol Glen School and Pine Valley Middle School in San Ramon, where Annie attends seventh grade.

In September, Sunol Glen School teacher's aide, Darlene Wexner gathered the students together to make a huge 21 foot postcard to send to the kids that were victims to hurricane Katrina. The postcard, which they called "Hands That Care", included over 200 small handprints and heartfelt words written by all the students.

When Darlene went to the Sunol Post Office to mail the gift, she discovered that it was going to be almost impossible to get the giant postcard to the kids. It could not be sent by mail nor express carrier, so she left the post office disappointed. What Darlene did not know was that she had forgotten her car keys on the post office counter and the woman standing in line behind her was in the process of collecting items to send to the Hurricane victims.

Darlene is a teacher's aide in the Art Department at the school so it was fitting that she also collected brand new art supplies and school books for the children and the Harris' are ready to deliver those as well. "Getting the art supplies to them means that we still remember them, yes maybe it was a couple months ago but we have not forgot them", says Darlene.

Now Darlene has taken on the task of delivering Halloween treats in the form of candy- grams. She is hoping to have approximately 400 lollipops to be delivered to the kids of Katrina from all the students at Sunol Glen School.

Darlene said, "The first graders put together candy grams and wrote little notes.

THE 'SPRING BASH' hosted by Sunol Glen School art teacher Darlene Wexner and her daughter, Annie, on May 19 was attended by more than 30 students from Sunol Glen School and Pine Valley Middle School of San Ramon, where Annie is in seventh grade.
