Students show artwork at Consortium

By Cate Lecuyer

BEVERLY — Paint, pottery and papier-mache have brought together kids who go to school every day in the same building, but don't often cross paths.

On Thursday, the classrooms and hallways of the Northshore Education Consortium were filled with artwork created by children with developmental delays and handicaps from the Kevin O'Grady Children's Center; students with social, emotional and behavioral challenges at the Northshore Academy; and high schoolers overcoming substance abuse at Northshore Recovery High School.

"It's been nice for us to have opportunities for programs to criss-cross," said Sarah Wadhams-Seiler, community and program development director.

The school on Sohier Road was packed with parents and students viewing the creations, many of which were made out of recycled or sustainable materials to go with the "Eco Art" theme.

"There's so much talent there," Seiler said, "and it's a way for kids to be proud of what they do."
