Shawn Foote, a Visual Arts Specialist at Challenger High School, has been in the midst of a special project. He has created one hundred paintings and sold them for $100 each to raise money for Washington State Parks. 

Foote is a former stock broker who left the Wall Street world to pursue his passion for art. He enjoyed the outdoors and decided to spend some of his time donating back to the park system that inspired him.

Visit the Washington Parks site Adventure Awaits to find out how Shawn integrated this project – 100 @ $100 – into his art class curriculum at Challenger.  To view the paintings visit Shawn’s site.
