Pines Elementary School Students Learn that Art Has No Borders – Creating Sock Puppets for Russian Orphans

Elisabeth Anziano’s third grade students at Hauppauge School District’s Pines Elementary School created hand-made sock puppets, which will be sent to Russian orphans with local Family Physician Dr. Ferguson and Dr. Patch Adams (you may recall the movie starring Robin Williams). The doctors are traveling to Russia to visit orphanages and Hauppauge will be there in spirit though the sock puppets created by the Pines’ third grade students,” stated Janet Velasquez, Hauppauge’s director of Fine and Performing Arts. “This project helped show the students that art has no borders.”
