STURGIS, SD – The Sturgis American Legion and the Sturgis Brown High School Art Club have joined forces for a unique fundraiser. The idea came about between two art teachers (one a veteran, the other a self-described ‘army brat’) and the manager of the Sturgis Vets Club, Stacey Nickelson.

“Art teacher Anna Tescher who is a military veteran, was looking for a way to raise money for kids in the art club to go on a trip. Someone mentioned painting ceiling tiles and it went from there.” She continued, “You’ll see painted ceiling tiles in a lot of veterans clubs around the region. What these students have done is amazing. Everybody who has seen these are just blown away by what they are creating.”
