Sarah Krajewski February Art Teacher of the Month!

What a fantastic honor to be recognized as the Wisconsin Art Teacher of the Month in February! 

When I was in 2nd grade, I made a bet with my best friend that I would be an Art Teacher 

before she would be. Needless to say, I won that bet. Now, I am lucky enough to teach excited 

2nd grade artists how to practice, experiment, invent, and problem­solve when I see them for 

Art Class! 

I am a proud UW­Eau Claire Blugold who graduated with an Art Education degree and a Music 

minor in 2010. After I graduated, I met an amazing group of students, colleagues, and parents 

at Fontana K­8 School in Fontana, WI where I taught Pre­Kindergarten through 8th grade Art for 

4 years. During my time in Fontana, I organized a yearly school­wide art show complete with a 

photo booth, scavenger hunt, interactive art, and colorful art displays everywhere! I also took 8th 

graders to the Chicago Art Institute annually, competed with 8th grade students in the Lake 

Geneva Winterfest Snow­sculpting competition, and submitted student art to local shows. I led 

the Fontana Art Club to collaboratively create a 17 ft. long “lake and fish themed” mosaic for our 

school entryway, mosaic stepping stones for our arboretum, and clay bead poles for our school 

garden. Working at Fontana School was such a great part of my teaching career and I think 

about my little Fontana artists everyday! 

I currently teach K­5 Art at Cambridge Elementary School in Cambridge, WI. I am lucky enough 

to work with an enthusiastic staff and an amazingly creative group of young artists. Currently, I 

am planning our first school­wide art show at CES which will include a black light gallery and 

animal themed everything! The CES Art Club is finishing up a cafeteria mural depicting our 

school forest with abstract patterns and crazy birds. I can’t wait to see what the aspiring artists 

of CES create in the future. Observing students creating is truly is the best part of my job. In 

what other job can you play with paint, glitter and clay all day and shape young creative minds 

while doing so?!

I was also on the Wisconsin Art Education Association Board as the Youth Art Month Co­Chair 

from 2012­2014 and received the Award of Excellence each year from the Council for Art 

Education, Inc. Organizing the state art show will be a constant reminder for me about how 

important it is to advocate for the arts and how to get student art out in the community. Being a 

part of WAEA Board was such a beneficial, fun, and meaningful experience for me.

In my classroom, you may find me wearing fairy wings and a tutu when it’s time for the “glitter 

fairy” to visit or I might just have two pencils and a paintbrush tucked in my hair from the 

excitement of the day. No matter what state I’m in, I’m always reflecting on how lucky I am to 

have a job that I absolutely love and students and staff to make each and every day awesome. 

Thank you for making ME feel awesome and remember to keep creating!
