"Over 240 ceramic art students and their teachers at 14 high schools across Montgomery County, Maryland, have worked since October 2015 on creating large clay totem poles. The project was a real world, hands-on learning experience for the students who were given the opportunity to create these art pieces for public display. In June 2016, 39 of the 5 to 6-foot-tall totem poles were installed along a well-traveled public walkway at the Grosvenor–Strathmore Metro station and at an entrance walkway at the Music Center at Strathmore in North Bethesda, Maryland. The project is a great showcase for MCPS student achievement."
