Middle schoolers will be asked to identify things/people/places/ideas that they value and would like to carry with them wherever they go. They will then create a turtle, incorporating these values into their shell represented through drawings, pictures, words, and designs with various art materials. Attendees will be encouraged to think about how much they can carry with them in their shell, if certain things can be left behind, whether or not these values will change with time, and what they discovered about themselves through this process.
