Natick Students Give Art a Try ... 1 Dot at a Time

International Dot Day is a global celebration of creativity, courage and collaboration held annually on Sept. 15.

The celebrator day began when teacher Terry Shay introduced his classroom to Peter H. Reynolds’ book The Dot on Sept. 15, 2009.

The Dot is the story of a caring teacher who dares a doubting student to trust in her own abilities by being brave enough to “make her mark.” What begins with a small dot on a piece of paper becomes a breakthrough in confidence and courage ... a story that has inspired countless children and adults around the world.

In honor of International Dot Day, The Tobin School in Natick turned its art studio into a blank canvas and let the kids dot it up. 

"We had a lot of fun with this project," said Head of School Lori Davis. "It was fun to help participate in this international event."
