What:

Sixth, seventh and eighth graders at Community Charter Middle School, with the help of a group of Cal State Northridge art students, are putting the finishing touches on holiday cards they made to send to U.S. Armed Forces fighting terrorism.

First year CSUN art students have been teaching at the middle school in an effort to bring art appreciation and design to students in underserved communities in schools without funds to support regular art programs.

The middle school students taking part in the after-school art project voted this semester to send their artwork to American soldiers serving overseas. They will be composing messages to put in their cards Tuesday.
