Laurin Middle School students build birdhouses for art department

Battle Ground — Laurin Middle School art teacher Tanya Bachman’s fifth- and sixth-graders spent some time Oct. 18 building birdhouses with help from Home Depot, 330 S.E. 192nd Ave., Vancouver. The students will follow up construction by painting and decorating the houses, which they will then sell at the Laurin Parent Teacher Organization’s inaugural Winter Bazzar on Nov. 19. Proceeds from the sale will go to the school’s art department. Home Depot donated supplies for the birdhouses, and employees from the store visited the school to help students.
